Two Sides of the Story

What You'll Learn

🧠 Every situation looks different depending on who's experiencing it. Thinking about other people's perspectives makes you a better, fairer thinker. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong — that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
