- A 7th grade group is choosing a theme for their class anthology. Norms: raise your hand or wait for a pause, respond respectfully, and stay on the decision question. Goals: brainstorm 5 possible themes, narrow to 2, then choose 1 by the end. They brainstorm 5 themes quickly. Then Jamal says, "We've got our five. Next step is narrowing to two—everyone vote for your top two." After voting, Emma says, "The top two are 'Courage' and 'Belonging.' Now we need to choose one—any final reasons?" Sofia says, "I prefer 'Belonging' because it fits more poems," and Chen responds, "I hear that. I think 'Courage' fits our stories better." Amir starts to bring up a totally different project, and Jamal says, "Let's stick to choosing the theme so we meet our goal." Which statement best describes how the group is handling the discussion?
- Which statement best explains what comparing the two passages reveals?
