Brightstorm - Session 9 - Explain

In the ninth session of the Brightstorm series, the narrative delves into the composition of Harriet's crew, highlighting the unconventional choices she has made in her recruitment. Harriet's decision to include Felicity, Arthur, and Maudie in her team is a focal point of the discussion. Each member has been chosen for specific reasons that are unique to their abilities and characteristics. The task for the participants, or readers, is to reflect on and articulate why Harriet might have selected each of these individuals to be part of her crew. This exercise encourages critical thinking as it requires an analysis of the characters' traits and the value they bring to the team.

The activity is designed to engage the participants in a deeper understanding of the characters and their roles within the story. By considering why Harriet chose Felicity, Arthur, and Maudie, participants can explore the dynamics of the crew and the potential contributions each member makes to the group's success. The exercise is interactive, prompting the participants to fill in their thoughts on why each character was selected. It is an opportunity for them to connect with the narrative and develop their own interpretations based on the information provided in the text. The session is likely to culminate with participants sharing their insights, thus fostering a collaborative learning environment.
