Elicit non-trivial dialogue from students. Guide students to reflection and analysis of the experience. Encourage students to share their perceptions and beliefs. Summarize and review similarities and differences.
Share pictures and stories. Ask students what else might have happened that day.
Did they eat breakfast? What did they wear? Did they go to school? What kind of cake did they have? All of these things also happened that day, but many are details that were insignificant to the main event, ie. not an important part of the summary of that day.
