- I can write an inferential discussion question.
- I can actively listen and share my own ideas and questions in small group and/or large group discussion settings.
- Important note regarding the AP quiz:
- I have graded and entered grades for the AP reading quiz but I still have several students who need to take it, so I will not hand those back today. I curved the score by adding 3.5 points.
- If you did not do as well as you would have liked, please don't panic!
- We will take some time Friday (and probably Monday and/or Tuesday) to go over the passages and questions and give you a chance to reflect what you may have struggled with and gain back some points. You'll learn and boost your grade: a win-win!
- Mert has to take the quiz
- Read Chapters 2 and 3 of 1984 and write one inferential discussion question for each chapter.
- Look at the inferential questions you wrote last night for chapter 1 of 1984.
- Pick the one which most intrigues you and rewrite it on the notecard provided.
- Don't forget to include your name, today's date, and the period at the top of the card. Also, don't forget to put the page # in your citation.
- Hand those cards into me.

Activity 2: Deeper Understandings Through Questioning and Discussing
