The Importance Of Teamwork In Seedfolks By Paul Fleischman
Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork!(It does, just read the essay)
The book Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman shows the whole WORLD the importance of teamwork, but he only needs just ONE street and ONE garden to do it. Seedfolks has a large lesson and theme all about being a team and working together as a team (teamwork). It is shown by many characters through simply helping out others who couldn’t work in the garden on their own, they would help keep each other's gardens safe and maintained, and others would help “patch up the whole world”. All of these people did all of this for one reason, gardening.

Gardens are a spot many people are passionate for, the only problem was for some that they had the knowledge, but couldn’t do it, or had no knowledge

He used these to his advantage to make the team happier, raise spirits, and in general better by talking to everyone and having conversations. This caused people to get to know each other, and therefore, building a better Team. It was that simple for Amir. This next one is my favorite character in the book along with Leona, and he definitely brings the team together (totally wasn’t his job before). His name is Sam. He saw the garden was great, and it was great for the team. The only thing is that he looked a little closer. He noticed that the garden was just becoming what the city was segregated. He saw chicken fences, Blacks there, Whites there, Asians there, Latinos there. The point is the garden at that point wasn’t doing anything new. Instead, Sam used his great mind and did something for the team, almost like a little,or big rather boost in every way. He decided to do the perfect thing of making a competition. You’re thinking “WELL NOBODY WILL CARE!” the thing is that he made it for kids, which gets the parents excited. Ok, well “THE KIDS WON’T CARE” and so Sam gave a cash prize so now he got the kids in on the competition. Just like that he got everyone together. Not only did Sam the Legend get everyone together and NOT separated apart the competition would fix the water problem in the garden because that is what the competition was about. Sam the Legend brought everyone together and got a second bird with the same stone. Those are the players that make the team and bring it all together like

    When it comes to teamwork, most people will consider teamwork in terms of being part of a baseball, basketball, or football team. In contrast, a team is “really just a group of people who use their skills, experience, and knowledge to work toward a common goal” (Beverly K. Bachel, 2007). Teams working together in the workplace are extremely productive and profitable. Teams working together increase problem-solving skills and innovation, quality, and decrease turnover and absenteeism. (Scarnati, J 2006) Teams have an overall high success rate when well structured and the communication between the team members stays open throughout the project. A team is a collection of individuals who have gathered to achieve the same…

    Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman is a 1997 children's book about the impromptu creation of a community garden in an inner-city Cleveland. As it comes alive, it breathes new life into an erstwhile sterile neighborhood. This book is not told from the perspective of a single character, but in a series of vignettes written from a first-person perspective of a very diverse group of characters. Some of the characters are young, some are old; some are new to America, some were born there. They all have their own reasons for coming to the garden and the significance it takes on for each of them is very different. They represent a variety of colors and cultures but come together to form a real community.…

    I moved here when I was eight. In Mrs. Fleck’s third grade class, nobody talked to me. Nobody but Maricela, that is. The moment I came here, she was the one I always talked to. We were best friends. She practically lived at my house! But then my little brother Evan was born. He had autism. I was afraid she wouldn’t like me anymore. Despite my thoughts, she stuck by my side. But that was eight years ago, and now I dropped out, and so did Mari. She’s also nine months pregnant! She tells me she had to go to this garden thing and she would be so happy if I came so she wouldn’t have to talk to Dolores, this stuck-up pretty girl. So I agreed to visit, but on one condition. I had to bring Evan.…
