Lesson: School Lunchroom Fight
Prompt:
Imagine that you are the principal of a school and you just found out that there was a fight in the lunchroom during lunch. You need to find out some details of the fight. You’ve asked many students and teachers who witnessed the fight to write down what they saw and who they think started the fight. Unfortunately, you have received many conflicting accounts that disagree about important details of the fight; like who started it, when it started, and who was involved
Worksheet (worth 5 points, turn in):
Lunchroom Fight
With your partner, answer the following questions:
- How could there be different stories of the event if NO ONE is lying?
- Who are the different people who might have seen this fight?
- What might make one person’s story more believable than another person’s?
- What physical evidence might affect who/what you believe (bruises, missing objects, etc.)
Together, we will discuss these questions. Write answers below:
- Why might people see or remember things differently?
- Who has an interest in one person getting in trouble instead of another?
- Who was standing there? Could they see the whole event?
- Do stories change over time?
- How might we remember right after the event be different than what we remember a week later?
- Does time make the way someone remembers something more or less trustworthy?
It is most important to understand WHY the fight began!!
