Notes and warnings
Warning. The hardest instruction in this plan to actually follow. The adults in a Discovery or Pathfinder review are not on the board and do not ask the questions; they answer them and provide perspective when asked. An adult who runs the discussion has turned it back into the meeting the Guide is trying to prevent.
