  12. Efficient & powerful. • 3-5 students (4 is ideal). • Short notes to each other about a rich, complex topic assigned by the teacher. • Jot, pass, read, & add. • All students writing…no off-task time. • 2 rules: 1) Use all the time for writing & 2) Don’t talk when passing. Write Around

  13. No small groups required. • Each student jots down 2 questions.** • Pass the papers. • Choose a question; comment or answer. • Write another question (brand new or follow-up). • Pass again, same direction. • Read through all so far; choose one unanswered question; respond; write a new question. • Repeat. • Discuss whole class. Silent Discussion
