Outline of a person.

WALT: define confident.

Today I had to define confident and I had to create a google drawing and get 5 words as a strength on the outside and then I had to write some ideas inside of the body so that it relates to the words outside. My 5 words is Brave, Honesty, Supportive, Critical thinker and Expression. I have chose these words because it relates to the word confident. 

A confident person is a brave person to share their ideas and using their critical thinking. Some of the confident people should tell honesty and the audience should be supportive so the confident can show more expressions.
