Students define the characteristics of a hero by creating their own fictional superhero.  In this film making activity, students write the background of a superhero character and storyboard scenes from a movie they would like to make.  Students utilize video cameras and sound gear to film the movie they have written, with each student "applying" for the position on the film crew they would like.
