8 Pioneer let the pen do the talking!

8 Pioneer are well into their reading of ‘Of Mice and Men’ and have now been introduced to the characters of George, Lennie, Slim, Curley and Curley’s Wife.

Today we started to map out our ideas about the different characters, in preparation for a more in-depth character analysis.  We did this using a Silent Discussion protocol, where we use the pen rather than our voices to express our ideas.  This protocol allows for everyone’s “voices” to be heard within the group discussion.

A big well done to Callie who backed up her comments with quotes from the book.  Great stuff!
