Journal #32

Journal #32

We’ve read and discussed an article that describes the controversies surrounding “real-life superheroes” like Phoenix Jones. Now it’s your turn to write.

You have the rest of the period to choose ONE of the following options:

Write a fictional story about a superhero.
Here are some questions to get you started: Who is your superhero? What power(s) do they have (or tools / weapons, if they’re more of a “real-life superhero”)? What’s their weakness? Who or what is their nemesis? Where are they from?

OR

Write an opinion-based piece about a superhero—real or fictional.
Here are some questions to get you started: Who’s your favorite superhero and why? Why are people so interested in superheroes? What do you think of vigilantes like Phoenix Jones? Would you ever consider taking the law into your own hands? Why or why not?

Whichever one you choose, make it interesting, detailed, and insightful. 300-500 words.
