Agenda

1. Starter: If knowledge were a city, what different neighborhoods would it have? What would make them unique? List at least 3-4.

   • Example: If knowledge were a city, I think one neighborhood might be the Story Quarter, where the past is pieced together through documents, memories, and interpretation.

2. Activity: Knowledge Worlds

   • Today, you’re going to be dropped into different “Knowledge Worlds.” In each, you’ll take on the role of experts. You’ll have to think, decide, and create as if you are insiders in that world. Your team’s job: gather insights, solve problems, and notice how knowledge works differently in each world.
