The Head, Heart, and Conscience Strategy asks students to consider what they know, how they feel about a particular topic/event, and how others feel/are impacted by the topic/event. Note: modifications to the complexity of the topic and language used in the discussion prompt may allow for use of this strategy in elementary grades. For example, a practitioner might ask “What do you know about this story?” (Head) “How does this story make you feel?” (heart), “How did the character feel?” (Conscience)
