Part 1: Do you have a Sunni or Shia background? How has the Sunni Shia difference been presented to you, in your family, in your broader religious community, and in Pakistan most broadly? Have you been told about the difference? Why does it exist? Is this difference a problem? If it's a problem, what's the solution? What do you understand about the lives of the Shia in Pakistan?

Part 2: Does looking at the material, and engaging in the class discussion, change how you think about Sunni and Shia difference? What do you think about the differences in the two tradition's perspectives on early Islamic history? Is this something we should talk about or not in Pakistan? Do you think it is worth reflecting on the differences of Sunni and Shia experience in Pakistan? How do you want to think about it, talk about it? If you are Shia, what is the experience of encountering your tradition in this particular setting?
