If you know someone who has overcome adversity in some way, you can help people in similar situations to also cross their own threshold through sharing this person's act of courage with them. To do that, select a person you know and who you think is courageous. Then, prepare a three paragraph informative piece that helps your audience understand your definition of courage and shows your audience exactly how this person is in fact courageous, so they may also see a way through the adversity they are also facing. Be sure to describe exactly how this person crossed a threshold and describe how this person overcame adversity with specific exs and details to illustrate your point.

You might consider structuring these three paragraphs using this organizational plan:

Paragraph one - introduce the subject by providing your specific definition of courage. Do not rely on a definition from a source like the dictionary. Be sure that you introduce the person who has demonstrated this courage and establish a thesis that says why this person is courageous.
Paragraph two - select an appropriate event in this person's life that best exemplifies how this person has displayed courage.
Paragraph three - analyze exactly why this event demonstrates courage and explore what adversity the person faced and how this demonstrates crossing a threshold. Make sure this paragraph ends with a clear conclusion.

Your Project should be between 350-450 words and should have a clear main point that is well-developed. This is not a research Project and should rely instead on your own experience and observation, but note that you do not need to nor should you use first person. You will be learning to locate and use research information in the upcoming units, but for now, rely on what you know.

Be sure to include an APA formatted title page and to follow the following formatting requirements.
