Introduction:
Teacher explain that in this activity, they will practice providing feedback on each other's superhero league job applications by using a feedback template.
Review the importance of giving and receiving feedback and how it can help us improve our work. Emphasize that feedback can come in many different forms, and that giving and receiving constructive feedback is an important skill both in the classroom and in the workplace. Encourage the pupils to apply the feedback they received to their own superhero league job applications, and to continue practicing their feedback skills in other areas of their lives.

Activity:
  1. Divide the class into pairs or small groups.
  2. Provide each student with a copy of one of their peer's superhero league job applications.
  3. Instruct the students to read through the application carefully and take notes on what they liked about the application and what could be improved. Encourage them to be specific and thoughtful in their notes.
  4. Provide the students with feedback worksheets. The worksheet should include spaces for them to write their name, the name of the superhero whose application they are reviewing, and their feedback.
  5. Have the students discuss their feedback with their partner or group. Encourage them to ask questions and provide additional clarification if needed.
  6. After the students have had time to discuss their feedback, have them return the feedback worksheets to their partner or group members.

  • Language acquisition: The primary learning goal is for the student to develop their language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, syntax, and pronunciation, through creating a superhero and describing their powers, origin story, and writing a job application to find allies.
  • Creative writing: The student will develop their creative writing skills by writing a compelling backstory for their superhero and creating a job application for finding a superhero league. 
  • Collaboration and communication: some of the assignments involves group work. The student will learn how to work effectively with their peers to create a cohesive superhero league, communicate their ideas and suggestions, and incorporate feedback from others.
  • Critical thinking and problem-solving: Creating a superhero may also require the student to think critically and problem-solve, as they must consider factors such as their hero's weaknesses, potential enemies, and how their hero's abilities can be used to solve problems and help others.
