Superheroing 101- Monday- 3rd period
And as promised, this week the class was in the Danger Shop, which looked a little bit like a store in a mall. There were parts of costumes hanging from racks, capes hanging from the wall, belts and boots and accessories on shelves.
"Last week I asked you what kind of superhero you wanted to be. It's a great idea to have in mind, but it doesn't start to feel real until you actually suit up. Do you have a code name? You don't have to- I don't currently, really- but maybe it informs what you want to look like. Are you hiding your identity? Do you want a mask? Do you want to look like a typical superhero or do you want to blend in more? Do you have powers that mean you need to wear something more flexible? These are things you have to think about when you're putting together a costume.
"That said, have fun with it. One thing we're going to do in this class is if you decide something's not working for you, if you want a different code name or a different costume, that's cool, you can put something new together. It's the Danger Shop, that's what it's for. You might know exactly what you want to be, or it might take you some time, and you should be able to have room to figure it out. And, you know, sometimes that might mean like, four or five code name and costume changes in a year." Or maybe that was just her. "So today you're going to put at least your first costume together. There are dressing rooms back there, pick whatever parts you like, change things as much as you want, and we'll see what you come up with."
