Author and photographer Marc Tauss worked with 2nd-grade students in discussing the idea of superheroes. Students read his book Superhero and wrote character profiles about their own superheroes that were the basis for creative representations: costumes with decorated capes and masks. Photos of students as everyday citizens and as superheroes were matched with the character profiles to form a class book.
