This is the starting point for everything on the
site. Select a Hero or story to follow and go from there. The secondary
level stories are designed for high school, have more background information
and more opportunities to link up to other sites throughout the world wide
web. The elementary level stories are designed for grades 5 and 6 and have
more quizzes and interactive trails. Those of you in grades 7 and 8 can
try both!
How global issues affect you.

the value of the site for their students. Lesson plans associated with
each trail blazer, a library page offering annotated resource listings,
and a feedback page where teachers and librarians can send their comments
or questions to Global Heroes are all located in the staff room.
