1. A hero becomes a hero by doing something to change someone's life, either physically, or by not giving up, because it would be an example to someone else.
2. The Hero in My Eyes project is about seeking someone who you think is a hero, and showing why they are you hero. You need to find out what makes a hero.
3. First, I wrote a rough draft, and I got it back with feedback saying that I need more physical descriptions of my hero. Then, I wrote up my second draft, and I got feedback saying that there were places (marked with boxes) that specified where I needed more showing and not telling. Finally, I got pictures, put the entire thing together on the form that we were given and presented it. I got a 48 out of 50.
4. I learned that the reason my hero is my hero is not because she went to the Olympics. The reason she is my hero is because she went to the Olympics and shattered her ankle, but she continued the sport through helping me to my goal. A challenge that I had was using showing sentences in a story full of dialog. Something that I would keep the same is the dialog. Dialog is fun, one of my favorite parts of writing.
5. I used one of the Habits of Mind in my project: Perspective. I changed the perspective from the dialog of me, to my coach recounting memories of her skating career.
