WHAT IS A WINNER?

You might normally associate a winner with a contest, a game, or a sport. But can you also be a winner when you’re not competing with other people? If so, how? Lance Armstrong faced two very different challenges and came out a winner in both.

SKETCH IT [computer paper or poster]:

Do you remember a time in your life when you felt like a winner? Maybe you won a spelling bee or achieved something that no one else ever had. Perhaps you faced a fear or a challenge. Create a sketch of the moment and include a SHORT PARAGRAPH that describes what is happening. Be ready to share your sketch with the class.

NOTE: Green triangle vocab was due in class (bottom of page 815). The SKETCH IT could be finished for homework.
