English Language Arts: Homemade Heroes Lesson Plan
In the video, Molly and Tooey are disappointed to discover that a popular comic book, Mighty McMann’s Alaska Adventures, doesn’t reflect anything about their lives in Alaska! So, they decide to create their own comic book featuring a superhero that reflects their own culture.
