Compare your answers to your team members. • At the bottom of the worksheet, write down one or more new things that you might add to our “working definition” of Pocahontas. • What’s a “working definition?” When a definition is not fully clear or proven, it is “working” or we are “working” at clearly defining or proving. For instance, the definition of Pocahontas we came up with yesterday.
