Group Discussions

In your groups... 

  • Compare your reading responses and warm ups.

    • What was something interesting you found? 

    • ​What was confusing or unclear? What made sense?  

    • Is the TC 1.0 something new to you or did you already know this? Be ready to point out specific areas in the reading.
