Discussion Questions How did this activity make people feel? For those of you who lost more than one point, did losing each point feel the same? For the green stars, what do you think the effects are on their lives? How did people feel about the activity and about their star before I read the first situation? After the last situation? What are the positives aspects for all the stars?
