Students will learn how to annotate and think aloud as they listen to peers and formulate their own questions about the text. Students will learn to defend positions about a question that is asked. Students will be about to write a compare and contrast paper after deep dialogue and discussion between short stories. Students will share in respectful dialogue with peers but will learn to ask, probe and give feedback.
