B. In groups of 3 pull up the digital copy of the reading “Toward the Stoney Mountains” (which is on the class web page) and also pull up your Cornell reading notes for the “Toward the Stoney Mountains” Use the notes and the reading to do the following:In your groups create a share document on google for their group work title tempest Writing activity.
1. In their groups of 3 have them share the discussion questions they create as part of their Cornell reading notes. Then in their group have them take these questions and together create 3 good discussion questions from the reading homework “Toward the Stoney Mountains”. They are to put these questions onto the shared google doc.
2. As a group have them answer each question together as a group on the shared google doc, using 5 + sentences (usually more for a good response) for each answer to each of the 3 questions they created. You are to work together in writing these responses and You are not to respond individually. Remember: make a claim, support it with specific evidence from the reading and use analysis to explain how the evidence proves the claim.
3. After the group has completed detailed responses to the 3 questions then select their 2 best questions. Write one of those questions on the board (you should pick it so if there is already a similar question written on the board they have a fall back so we have a variety to choose from)
4. Finally have the groups pick a question from the board that is different (or at least different enough to require a new response) from what you have already responded too and write to a 4th question for the day on the same group google doc.
