If you only do one thing

If you are pressed for time but still want to do an activity around Guy's event, why not ask pupils to come up with a hero for a spy or action novel, just like in Spynosaur?

Character creation: heroes and villains ENG 2-31a

Ask your pupils to come up with a hero for a spy or action novel. You can use these key questions to get pupils forming a heroic character: 

• What does your character want more than anything in the world? 
• What is he/she afraid of? 
• What are their most important strengths and weaknesses? 
• Who is their best friend?
• Would you want to be their friend? Why/why not?
