    Come Prepared for a Discussion

    • Participation is key in a discussion, and it requires preparation beforehand.
    • Prepare by reading the text, bookmarking important parts, and journaling to warm up for discussion.

    Speak Up and Participate

    • Express yourself in a group by sharing at least three ideas or thoughts.
    • Ideas can come from your reading journal, such as asking a question, relating the text to another text, or explaining why the text makes you feel a certain way.
    • Raise your hand or wait for a pause in the conversation to share your thoughts.

    Use Evidence to Support Your Ideas

    • Use information from the text to back up your ideas, making them more credible.
    • Refer to evidence from the text, such as quotes or facts, to support your point of view.
    • This helps others understand and agree with your perspective.

    Actively Listen to Others

    • Participation in a discussion involves not only expressing your ideas but also listening and responding to others.
    • Avoid thinking too much about what you want to say and forget to listen to others.
    • Respond to others' comments and engage in a discussion like a game of volleyball, bouncing ideas back and forth.

    • Show respect by:
      • Not speaking when someone else is speaking.
