- Moment of recognition?

3. IMMEDIATE REACTION
- Physical response
- Emotional response
- Verbal response (or significant silence)

4. PROCESSING
- What does it mean to them?
- What questions arise?
- What does it change about their understanding?

5. DECISION/ACTION
- What do they do with the discovery?
- Tell someone? Hide it? Investigate?
- What does this choice reveal?

6. THE SCENE
