.Instruct3
{<BI>Variation:<N>  You could run this exercise with a variety of concepts in addition to the "team" concept, including: "change," "a sermon," "a mission or vision statement."}
.Debrief1

.Debrief2
{Ask the group:  "What, if any, differences do you observe in these reports?"}
.Debrief3
{Facilitate a discussion highlighting the differences and weave into this, if not perceived by the group, the comprehensiveness of the combined reports.}
.Debrief4
{To complete the group debriefing, give a brief presentation and handout to reinforce the T/F differences and group learnings.  (See Good T/F Words and T/F Highlights handouts.)}
