Create Heroes and Villains Writing an Adventure Story

Students can be baffled & become resentful when told to write a short story without being shown how to write one & don't know where nor how to begin, much less how to develop & end a story. Yet when students are led through the structure of a story step by step, they often surprise themselves with the ability to write one. This guide, which builds on the existing knowledge of & interest in super heroes, folk heroes, villains, mythological & legendary heroes, & monsters, may be used as a creative-writing unit or in conjunction with a lit. unit. It will help develop students' abilities in observing, concluding, recalling, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, & evaluating. It also contribute to the development of their oral, written, & imaginative skills.
