  8. Group Discussion Activity….. What did you learn?!?? • In order to check for understanding and emphasize main points from the reading, you will now complete a group discussion activity (grps of 3!) • Each group will be given a set of six cards – each card has a main category with four corresponding questions. • To start, one group member will take the role of the “question master.” • The other two members will select a category and a question number 1-4. • The question master will ask the question to the pair. The pair will brainstorm, discuss and answer the question. • The question master should determine if this is correct, ask follow up questions, clarify, etc. (You are leading the discussion! Make it count!) • Then, rotate roles and complete the process over. • Each group member will be question master TWICE! • Each category can only be used ONCE! • Every group member needs to participate and stay on task. Be supportive and respectful of all answers. • The point of this is to review key concepts from the reading – what did you learn? Categories: • DEFINE • CLARIFICATION • SUMMARY • QUESTIONS • EXTENDING • PREDICTION
