They can describe the superhero in the target language. Students can even create their own trading card and write in the following information:

Buy our ready to use unit that comes with a list of essential superhero vocabulary plus a template for the trading card.
With superhero movies being a big hit (such as Avengers, and X-Men) especially among boys, use that interest to connect with your kids and get them excited about coming to class.
Other ideas to incorporate superheroes in class:

Take a page out of a comic book, white out the dialogue and have students create their own dialogue
- Have students create their own comic strip.
- Have students write a summary of their favorite movie.
