Curiosity Bundle
How do we know what really happened?
Two honest observers may notice different details.
Compare accounts of one small scene. Check particular claims rather than picking a favorite storyteller.
IgniteDid we see the same thing?
Show the puzzle and leave room for a first idea.
Offer one puzzle. Leave room for a guess.
Put a cup in front of a folded paper shape and sit on opposite sides. Ask, "Could we give different descriptions of the same scene?"
Another way to begin
Show a scene briefly, then cover it. Ask, "What would you write down first, and what might someone else remember?"
Use two drawn views of a clearly invented scene and compare the visible details.
