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.
