Further Research and Report Back

After reading, students identify unanswered questions, research them, and report back.

Procedure

1. After reading a text, groups identify 3-5 questions the text raises but doesn't answer.
2. Divide questions among group members.
3. Research (using phones, library, or provided sources).
4. Report findings to the group.
5. Group presents a synthesis to the class.

Tips

• The text becomes a springboard, not an endpoint.
• Students learn that texts are partial — they always leave things unsaid.
