Ground Rules:
– Scholars will think like a detective.
– Don’t share your conclusion until the end.
– Gather clues to formulate an idea. As you start to
get an idea, write it on your whiteboard. You can
change your mind at any time as your idea
becomes clearer by crossing out your previous
answer and adding the new one.
