What?

• This section should included observations about
  your experience.
• For example, what happened to you during the
  poverty simulation activity? What was the
  atmosphere? How did you feel? Did your thoughts
  or feelings change over the course of the
  activity? Discuss how you made decisions during
  this exercise. How did you relate to others in
  your family and to people in the community?

5
So What?

• This section should include abstract concepts or
  generalizations about the broader issue of
  poverty that you can make based on your
  experience.
• What is the bigger picture? How does your
  experience in this simulation relate to the
  bigger picture of poverty? What did you learn
  about poverty or people who are experiencing
  poverty? What did you learn about social
  systems/institutions? What new concepts/ideas
  about poverty can you glean from your experience?
  

6
Now What?

• This section will include how your experience of
  participating in the poverty simulation activity
  may affect your behaviors and attitudes in the
  future.
• Do you look at poverty or those in poverty
  differently now, and if so how will this be
  evident in your life? How can you use what you
  learned in real life situations?
