Next, ask them to draft their thoughts about what they know, as well as what they don’t know. Remind them that drafting a paragraph should have 4-5 sentences (Beginning-Middle-Conclusion). Penmanship is always a must when they are putting their thoughts on paper, check their spelling and punctuation.
- Next: Ask each member to share what they believe an equation and solution might be. Review what an active listener looks like.
