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!!
