Summary
Strength and weakness are often two sides of the same coin. Students will explore how a character’s flaw can be a benefit.
- Students list characters and people from history who used their faults as a strength.
- They pick three and explain why their faults would work so well together.
- They create a situation where each of the faults helps the team to survive a challenge.
- Finally, they expand their idea into a larger work.

Teachers love Byrdseed.TV!
"I absolutely LOVE all of the ideas on your site. I am using Byrdseed TV to differentiate activities for my clustered students to work on when the rest of the class is doing something they've already mastered." ~ Wendy in Washington
"I am the coordinator for our district gifted program. Byrdseed.TV is one of my favorite sites and one of the best investments I have made for the program." ~ Jeannette in California
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
