Deliver those letters to each of the other groups. Specific groups: Problem; Research; Hypothesis; Experiment; Conclusion; Communicate

Day 2: Each group would select another group's letter of disunion, analyze the reason, and then reply to why the disenfranchised group should not leave the union, citing specific reasons why that member is important.
