MY TWO CENTS
TWO QUESTIONS that can engage ANYONE after reading any text or section of text:
1. What did you understand about the text/paragraph/etc?
(If a student has trouble answer the above question, I then ask:)
2. What did you NOT understand about the text/paragaph/etc?
These questions are also good for partners to use during any partner reading done in class.
