This story is about Dex, an adorable dachshund who wants to be a hero, but starts out as the little dog who is bullied by a giant tomcat named Cleevis. Dex decides to start training (and studying superheroes) and gradually builds up his strength and endurance, despite continuing to be picked on by Cleevis and his friends (showing perseverance). One day Dex helps a puppy across the street and earns the name Superdog. This is a great story to help teach students how to set goals, to make a plan to achieve them, to work towards achieving them, to monitor their progress, and to evaluate their results. I especially love the ending because it helps students learn that once they meet a goal, they can help others achieve their goals, too.
I created a simple goal sheet to help students learn how to set their own goals using this book. You can download it by clicking on the picture below.
After completing our goal sheets, I took photos of my students & printed them out. Then, the students had to turn themselves into Superkids! We posted our Superkids with our goal sheets. It is a Superfun project! I will add some photos of the finished products when I am able to edit them for sharing. Enjoy!
