• Periodically ask students to discuss terms with each other• Provide a few minutes of think time to allow students,
individually, to review their own descriptions and images• Model for students, through think-alouds, how you
would like them to be thinking about these terms• After students have had time to think about the
terms, organize them into pairs and ask them to discuss their descriptions and images with a partner by comparing/contrasting and identifying areas of argument or in need of clarification• Ask students to share any new findings/clarifications
with the whole class
