The document outlines an activity for participants to learn about different topics related to an educated person. It instructs participants to number themselves 1 through 8 and form expert groups based on their number to read and discuss their assigned section. They will then form mixed groups with one participant from each original expert group who will teach the others about their topic to develop a common understanding. Finally, the mixed groups will search for connections between the themes and Boyer's commonalities, making a list of overarching ideas.
