How can we decide if a character is a really great hero, or sidekick to a hero/good guy?

Activity Suggestion:
For this story, ask the students to take a character they're already familiar with, such as goldilocks or red riding hood, if we rewrite their stories making them men, do we still consider them good guys, or have we changed our opinions? This allows for brainstorming, discussion, and a lot of writing!]]> 2017-05-08 02:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moshierc/is73a7qs7nhm/wish/170411607
