- I read my note, “fly south for the winter,” and I added, “FOR WHAT REASON?”
- I thought of loons needing open water for food, and I thought of northern lakes, covered with ice each winter.
- I marked a large X after REASON, and I set this card aside to begin a stack of notes that will have a large X after REASON.
- I will soon choose a few cards, and I will write REASONS on them.
- I stack the X’s now, so they will be together when I choose REASONS to write into my report.
- My REASONS: • must make sense • must be true • must not be silly.
