10-second review: Students write two interpretive questions about the assigned reading the previous night. Teacher demonstrates what interpretive questions consist of (no “yes” or “no” answers) and gives some examples: “Why do you think…felt let down by his family?” “What clues did the author give to how the family would react?” Questions are cut into strips and thrown into a hat. Teacher selects first question, reads it aloud and the students discuss. And so on.

Comment: Another approach would be for students to submit questions about what they don’t understand in the story. RayS.
