Practical idea - Superhero alter-ego

16 Feb 2011

Encourage your pupils to create their own comic book or graphic novel superhero alter-egos. They could then run a 'dress-up as your superhero' reading group session, or a group session where they become their hero and promote their comic or book.

This idea works well with reluctant readers, and boys in particular.
