Write a different trait on each of the shapes.

  6. Instructions 2 * In the lunch scene, why does Allison behave so unusually?   * Analyze the traits you chose and determine what actionsmost strongly contribute to each trait. * On three different shapes, provide at least one supporting detail (why) you selected that trait to describe Allison.
