Step #2:

After the girls have created their heroines, have them answer the following questions to spur some discussion and deepen their characters:

• Who is your superhero?

• What special power did you give them and why?

• How will this superpower help save the world?

Step #3:

Share! Encourage the girls to talk about who they created, why they chose to create who they did, and how this female superhero could change the world.
