Third Grade Super Heroes describe the super power they wish they could have and what they would do with their powers. Read the full description.

Default-piece-image-0 Super Strength or Super Speed? Invisibility or Transformation? Which super power would you choose? A group of third graders each chose a single super power and wrote about how they would help the world by using their power. They also wrote about the fun things they could do with their powers. From the common (Flying) to the more unique (Making People Happy), the third graders recorded excerpts from their writing to create two audio collages. Replete with appropriate super hero music and sound effects, the group has created their own, personal Justice League to fight crime, save the world, or just score lots of goals in hockey.

Review of Super Powers 2

Super Powers 2 is great! It is very interesting to hear what kind of super powers these third graders would like to have and what they would do with them. The introduction is amazing, it really sounds like the beginning of a Superhero cartoon. I liked the sound effects on the voices at the beginning but some of them were a bit unclear. It was entertaining to hear what the students would do with their powers and they all came up with really good ideas. Two that really stuck out to me was one student said they would, "Change into different people on Halloween to get extra candy", and another said, "I would be really good at hide and seek". The end was simple and sweet and overall this piece was very refreshing. It is always nice to hear from the younger kids because they always have the coolest ideas.
