Exercise: Journeys
This exercise strengthens our reasoning skills by asking us to reason toward the best explanation. If someone sets out with these items (amongst others) on a journey, what might you infer regarding:
- Where they might be going;
- What they might be planning to do;
- How they plan on getting there.
- Sunscreen, thick boots, compass, a water bottle and a back pack with a box of worms
- Shorts and T-shirt, a leather jacket, gloves, goggles, a beach towel and book.
- A can of gasoline, bottle of water, spare tire, MP3 player, and horse in a trailer
- A 50ft rope, pegs, hammer, hard helmet, 4 wheel drive
- Iced chocolate cake, change of clothes, a CD wrapped in wrapping paper, train schedule, candles
As a variation, in pairs prepare to tell the story of this journey to the rest of the group.
