- I need to hear from everyone in discussion, so at times I will call on you by name, rather than asking for hands of volunteers.
- Adamaris, will you put a check mark next to people when I call their names?
Pair-Share to Answer Questions
- At the end of the reading, there are eleven questions I want you and your partner to answer together.
- Here’s how it works:
- Read the question aloud.
- Talk about possible answers.
- Refer BACK TO THE TEXT to check your answer.
- Each of you write the correct answer on your paper.
- Keep focused on your work, because you need to complete the questions in fifteen minutes.
- When you complete questions #1-11, come get the answer key, and check your answers.
- “X” any you got wrong, then talk with your partner about why you guys missed that one.
- Put your name on your packet, then turn it in to the drawer, please.
Think about it: why didn’t we read the questions first on this assignment?
