different questions students will need to answer.

story.

Direct Instruction I do: After having the students go around and fill in the posters. I will
have them do a gallery walk. This means that they will walk around
and see what other classmates have wrote. I will also have them
respond to student’s responses. An example of a response would be “I
agree” or “Me too”, or just a checkmark.

students wrote down.
