Unlike television and film, black superheroes started appearing as major characters in comics since the 1960s. Since 1966, the list of black comic book icons only continues to grow. In this class we learn about 16 awesome superheroes of color that you should know and love. We also will be creating out own superhero idenities! Supply list below! For the first 15 minutes class will consist of an engaging presentation that will include screen clips from various movies and show or supplemental videos. Students will learn the backstory, weaknesses, strengths, powers, allies and enemies of each hero. For the last 15 minutes students will work to create their own superhero uniform accessories each week! Students can also dress up as their favorite superhero or bring a toy to share with the class during our introductions. We will also be listening to some super hero music while doing our crafts. The last week of class will be the big reveal where I invite students to add a personalized costume/outfit to wear to compliment their accessories and new super hero identities.
