Directions:

1. Each group gets a packet of 6 documents. Divide the documents so that each person has one. There may be documents left over that no one will read.

2. Each person will read their document. Pause every paragraph to annotate the reading, following the annotation requirements below. There will be sections of the reading that may not have choices or consequences, so every paragraph won’t necessarily have an annotation.

1. Highlight in one color any time where an individual, group, or nation faced a decision and made a significant choice

2. Underline information in the text that helps you understand what might have led the individual, group, or nation to make the choice(s)

3. Highlight in another color any moment where the reading discusses the possible or actual consequences as a result of the individual, group, or nation’s choices.

3. Then, answer the following questions about your document
