Author-photographer Marc Tauss led a class of 2nd grade students in a discussion about superheroes.
Students read his book Superhero and wrote character profiles and stories about the superhero they would like to be. Their superhero profiles and stories were the basis for the creation of superhero costumes with decorated capes and masks. Photos of students as everyday citizens and as superheroes were matched with the character profiles and stories to form a class book.
