Hero or Villain? Blank Profile Posters

History tends to judge our past leaders as extremes: Benedict Arnold was a traitor! Abraham Lincoln was an American hero! As teachers, it’s tempting at times to present a world as black and white to our students: good or evil, friend or foe, hero or villain. Use these blank profile posters to help students dig a little deeper and see beyond the established narratives and into the real world of gray.

Students put any historical figure, system, or idea “on trial,” analyzing the feats and failures of history’s greats.
Excellent for project-based learning in groups, independent activities, research skills, debates, or mock trial preparation.
Comes in a tear-off notepad with 35 large color sheets, ready to pull and go! Students can easily fold or roll their page to continue it as homework.
Great to use with our existing Hero or Villain? mini-posters!

Hero or Villain? Activity Packet

This 18-page downloadable packet provides over 20 activities and research topics. Students will analyze a historical person on their heroic or villainous attributes. They will complete a job resume, file a villainous police report, write a eulogy, debate with a partner over whose person is more heroic, and more!

Activity Packet Download: All levels. PDF, 18 pages.

Hero or Villain

Sep 20, 2021 | By Wendy Rigley

I love this poster when learning about Andrew Jackson. It really makes the students think about his actions and decide if he was a villain in history or a hero. I think these posters could be used for a lot of other people found in history too.
