Ways of going above and beyond:
1. Choose a hero quality/characteristic that is particularly unique, one that you have enough evidence to support but might also not be the most obvious.
2. Include evidence that is particularly compelling/persuasive.
3. Connect these examples of resistance to other examples that you have knowledge of/have studied and explain how this relates.
4. Include additional information about the slave leaders/revolts that we didn't learn about in class but help you further your point of view about whether one, or more, should be considered a hero.
