AVID Character Analysis
I remember that this year in AVID we had to work o a character trait with our table group. My table and I had to work on Courage. We alll had many ideas but couldn't figure out what was the one we needed to do. So we all contributed with ideas and made a good one. We had to all brainstorm ideas and then figure out what was the best one for our project. I compared my expirience with the article because we all had times we wanted to complete the task all by ourselfes but it is better to put all the ideas together to create a good well done job.
