Imagine a day where you could sit around and talk about comic books and superheroes all day with the kids. Sounds a pretty good day to me. Of course I did have the added bonus of getting paid for it.
The sub plans at this teacher left were for them to trace the outline of a human figure and then create their own superhero. I had no behavior problems in a middle school I think that is the first time that’s happened.
The only bad part of the day was when kids tried to create a superhero that actually existed. They were surprised that I know about Shark Boy and Lava Girl. They tried to combine two or more superheroes into one. If I was their teacher would’ve had an issue with that. But this was their work. So I didn’t tell them that they were creating somebody that already existed unless they asked.
