Asynchronous activity

Assign students to a group where they work together to read and ask/answer questions

​

Step (1) students read text on their own (find translation tools for English learners)

Step (2) Individually generate a list of questions they have for that text and also the vocabulary they don’t understand

Step (3) Teacher assigns student groups and students share their questions and respond on a Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11uTzM8Hcuqbvlbrhw8aqBjv9wC-bf0K6m3vrlRpAMz4/edit

Step (4) Teacher reviews student discussions to determine the focus of learning for the whole class huddle time to address unanswered questions or misunderstandings
