A team is a group of people.

They are normally linked in what they do.

Why Is Working in a Team Important?

We can…

• achieve something we cannot do alone;

• complete something more quickly;

• negotiate and compromise with others;

• support those who are finding something difficult;

• share ideas.

Teamwork in Starry-Eyed Stan

• Was Stan good at teamwork at the beginning of the story?

• What made Stan realise that teamwork was important?

• What did Stan do to show that he wanted to work as part of a team at the end of the story?

No, Stan thought that he was better than everyone else and wanted to sing alone.

Stan realised that teamwork was important when Jay and the other starfish worked together and helped to save everyone from Lancelot. Stan couldn’t do it on his own.

Stan decided to set up a singing school and a band so that everyone could work together as a team.
