Print, cut, and laminate a set of cards for each of your groups of 4-5 students.
Print, cut, and laminate talking chips.
Put students into groups of 4-5.
Decide how many talking chips each student gets (this encourages participation during the dialogue and teaches students how to use social cues when deciding when to share, instead of raising a hand).
One student draws a card from the top. That student asks the question and dialogue begins in the group. Students should have the short story handy so they can use evidence in their responses.
When dialogue dies down, students continue taking turns drawing a card, asking questions. and having discussions.
Students should discard the questions already asked so they don't repeat any.
