Putting Your Definitions to Work Each of you will have a scenario. Follow the instructions on the page of your scenario. 10 minutes

Compare and Contrast Find a table of your scenario and move there (i.e., scenario 1 moves to table 1). Pick a volunteer to record the table discussion for reporting out to the room. Discuss what you wrote. Find the commonalities and differences. 10 minutes

Compare and Contrast Table reports: What was your scenario? What commonalities do you have? What differences do you have? 5 minutes

Creating Common Context Pick a different volunteer to record the main points on flip chart paper. Develop strategies to create a common context for your scenario. Stick your completed flip chart paper to the wall. 5 minutes
