5 minutes: In your small group, try to come up with as much as you can to answer these two questions about your portfolio category:
- What does each category mean?
- Why would that be important, especially given the class mission statement?

5 minutes: Spend the next five minutes scoping out what the other groups wrote on the other posters. If you have something to add, add it. If something resonates with you, put a star next to it.

About the TED Talk
Sinek, author of Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, shares a simple model on how to become an inspirational leader: Start with a circle, and start with "Why?" Sinek uses examples like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Apple to illustrate why this is effective.
