Prompt
I teach [GRADE LEVEL] and my class just read [CHAPTER OR PAGES] of [BOOK TITLE BY AUTHOR]. Write a discussion set for a [LENGTH OF DISCUSSION]-minute class discussion: 1. 3 warm-up questions anyone can answer from the text (recall). 2. 4 "why" and "how" questions that ask students to explain and use evidence. 3. 2 open questions with no single right answer that connect the chapter to students' lives or to a theme. 4. For each question, one follow-up I can ask if the room goes quiet. 5. 5 sentence starters for students who need help joining in (for example "I agree with ___ because…"). 6. One exit question to check understanding in under 2 minutes. Stick to what happens in the book. If you are not sure what happens in this chapter, say so and ask me for a short summary instead of guessing.
