Brightstorm - Session 4 - My Thoughts

In the fourth session of the Brightstorm series, a thought-provoking question is posed to the participants: Should Arthur and Maudie enter the Polaris Challenge? This question encourages students to deeply consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of the characters' participation in the competition. It's an exercise in critical thinking, prompting students to weigh the pros and cons and articulate their reasoning. The advantages might include opportunities for adventure, personal growth, and the thrill of competition, while the disadvantages could involve risks, the pressure of the challenge, and the possibility of failure.

As part of the session, students are invited to record their personal reflections on this dilemma. This activity not only engages them with the narrative but also helps to develop their analytical and decision-making skills. They must think carefully about the characters' motivations, the stakes involved, and the possible outcomes of entering the Polaris Challenge. This exercise serves as a platform for discussion and enables students to explore different perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the characters' situation and the themes within the Brightstorm narrative.
