Find the 3 quotes here

Here is some guidance for today’s discussion:

Inside the circle

Outside the circle

  • Time to participate!
  • Be active in discussion for the 10 minute block
  • Speak a lot, but be aware of other’s thoughts and ideas (i.e. don’t trample someone mid-sentence)
  • Be respectful
  • Consider:
  • REACT (for intros) - you can discuss variations on the Explanation (word choice, phrasing, etc.)
  • ICE / PEAS for body - discuss which works of literature may work with Explanation (Crucible?)
  • Discuss HOW to write this essay (think of it as an outline)
  • Be an active listener
  • Make valid observations about the inner circle discussion (tweet away!)
  • Take notes on what you hear the inner circle discuss (this will be useful for tomorrow’s follow-up discussion)
  • Consider:
  • Writing down Explanations
  • Commenting on Explanations/discussion items
  • Thinking of additional books that fit the Explanations
