Choose a partner.
Take 2-3 minutes to consider your answer to the inquiry prompt you have been assigned.

Classroom discussion strategy: Think-pair-share: Direct students to choose a partner. Assign each pair one of the suggested inquiry prompts and give them 2-3 minutes to consider their answers. Then have them turn to their partners and take turns sharing their answers.

OPTIONAL: Think-pair-share-square: Once students have shared their answers with their partners, direct them to join up with another pair and take turns sharing their answers.
