Group Discussion: Part 1

• Looking at the text again, what is it really about? What is the author's experience? 
• What is your closest similar experience? 
• Add a row to the table in your EJ with this information. (You know the table you started on Tuesday.)

NEXT: Part 2

• With your group have a discussion about the two questions from the text assigned to your group. 
• Be prepared to explain those answers to the class.
