Heroes

 Hello everyone. 

This week in Hurumanu 1 we have been learning about Heroes. what makes a hero, a hero. 

First we had to identify what is a hero and what makes them a hero. Some of the things that our class came up with was: A hero is Helpful, Brave, Courageous, Persistent and Resilient. 

After that we had to find a hero that has most of these traits. Then we make a document that has a lot of information about them and what they did heroic.

I wrote about Dr. Jose Rizal. Here is my writing:

My Hero: Dr. José Rizal

Dr. Jose Rizal is known as a National Hero of the Philippines. He was born on

June 19, 1861 and died on the 30th of December in 1896. In his family he had

nine sisters and one brother.

People looked up to him as a great hero for he had sacrificed himself to the

colonizers as he believed that it would be better if we were in peace. Apparently

he had hid documents in his clothes and shoes on the day of his execution hoping

they would give his body to his family.

His Death was caused due to misunderstandings. After his release of being exiled

he was accused of being part of a revolutionary against Spanish colonizers. Eight

Filipinos from the firing squad were forced to execute him even though they didn’t

want to. Behind them were Spanish soldiers who were ordered to eliminate the

people who rejected to execute Dr. Jose Rizal.

Traits that made them a hero:

• Great Role Model

• Brave and courageous

• Helpful

• Persistent and Resilient

• Putting others before themselves

• Sacrificing

• Respecting Others

• Doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.
