Teachers had students in small groups and asking questions pertaining to the story and the students were very engaged in the conversation. There were basic questions being asked as well as higher order thinking questions that called for the students to think of synonyms to help explain what each word meant. https://padlet.com/jpdelano_gemzik/oxfh37q7xgtt/wish/152482150 2017-02-08 15:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jpdelano_gemzik/oxfh37q7xgtt/wish/152482150 centers were taking place. jpdelano_gemzik https://padlet.com/jpdelano_gemzik/oxfh37q7xgtt/wish/152482564 students were actively involved.
