Note: the instruction was to imagine multiple ways they •could• respond. Not “would,” not “should,” but •could.•

The prompt was “Right AND wrong answers!“ That’s a technique I love in the classroom: students are so afraid of being wrong, some are reluctant to speak up at all — even when they have good ideas. “Think of •all• the possibilities, including ones that are clearly wrong” creates space for them to speak up without embarrassment. And it builds the capacity to •imagine• — a capacity which authoritarian movements always seek to dull.
