In Search of Ordinary Heroes.
Reissman, Rose
Educational Leadership, v52 n8 p28-31 May 1995
Inspired by Miep Gies's selfless hiding of Anne Frank, a class of urban middle schoolers came up with definitions and characteristics of "ordinary," nonglitzy heroes. One student suggested that the school create its own ordinary hero hall of fame; students then researched possible nominees and held an induction ceremony for those nominated. (MLH)
