Unsung Heroes

Heroes Desconocidos
Héros inconnu
LANGUAGE CENTER EVENT
March 20 and 21, 2024
Objective of our event

• Help understand and appreciate what others do for us, without

interest of receiving recognition. Appreciate people who are doing
something because it is the correct thing to do.
 UNSUNG HERO
• A person who makes a substantive yet unrecognized contribution; a person
whose bravery is unknown or unacknowledged
• Someone who does a great job yet receives little or no recognition for that. An
unsung hero usually refrains from claiming too much in return for his/her efforts
• A person not noticed or praised for doing hard work, being brave, or achieving
results.

accomplishments in one of the following modalities:

Note: Video or slide show: students must appear in the video or slide show. No
downloading from you tube is permited, nor voicing over.
How to develop your project:
