Quick comprehension check
“Think about a time when you and a friend remembered an event differently. What details did you each focus on? How did your perspectives differ? Mark used a specific approach to help his friends understand what really happened. Can you think of a time when you used a similar method to resolve a disagreement or misunderstanding? What steps did you take? How can listening to different points of view help you understand a situation more fully, even outside of solving a mystery?”
