Welcome back to the second term boys. Given that you have just read the article "Give a man a cape and he'll soon turn crusader" (and know that it wasn't written by Mr G), which would you choose: the ability to fly or the power of invisibility? Before you answer that question, consider the outcome of the research (earthquake search, knocking pens off desk, even the eye poster). How prevalent are superpowers in our literature? Our movies? I have just watched Star Wars - Attack of the Clones with my son in the holidays and there is enough superpower in there to make me think about the good vs evil idea. What human trait would you consider to be 'super' but has perhaps been sidelined as being 'normal'? What about other species from the animal kingdom? Do they have 'superpowers'? How tempting would it be for a superpower such as invisibility to "...lead you down a dark path"? The culture of superpowers seems to permeate our society and really gets me thinking...what are your thoughts?
