Lesson #6:  Judging a Collection (The Start of a New Piece)

Hello Writers! Take a look at how Nick decided to determine which of his favorite basketball teams was the best. He compared the team using 3 criteria, and a system of stars. He rated each team based on the best team, best players, and best coaches.  Then, he used a scale of 1 - 5 stars to tell which team he thought was the best (5 stars) to the worst (1 star.)
