Guidelines:

1) Raise hands to contribute; the current speaker chooses the next contributor. If no one raises his/her
hand, the speaker may call on someone.

2) All students must contribute; you may not pass if called upon. You can always ask a question.

3) When you are contributing, please begin by summarizing/re-stating the previous speaker’s point or
question, then connecting to your comment, question, or point.

4) You may knock on your desk AT THE END OF A PERSON’S COMMENTS to show support or
agreement.

5) No side conversations, even if they are about the book.
