Choose a hero you both admire—this could be a historical figure, a celebrity, a family member, or even a fictional character. Here's how you might discuss and make notes for the two questions:

1. Why is this person a hero?

• What have they done that is heroic?
  • For example, "They saved lives, inspired others, overcame great challenges, or made a positive impact on the world."
• Focus on their contributions or acts of bravery.

2. What is this person like?

• Describe their personality and character traits.
  • For example, "They are courageous, kind, determined, humble, or selfless."
