“Say Something” slide. I know, we are all singing the song in our heads, but let’s not do it out loud. In a moment, you are going to see the “Say Something” slide that we used in our discussion on Wednesday. This went ok on Wednesday, but we are going to see how we can make it BETTER today.

“Say Something” slide • I know, we are all singing the song in our heads, but let’s not do it out loud. • In a moment, you are going to see the “Say Something” slide that we used in our discussion on Wednesday. • This went ok on Wednesday, but we are going to see how we can make it BETTER today. • Take a moment to preview each of the four categories.
“Say Something” • Ask a question: • *Why did . . . • *Who is . . . • *What would happen if . . . • *Do you think . . . • *I don’t get this part here . . . Make a prediction: *I predict that . .. *I think that . . . *Since this happened (fill in detail), I bet that the next thing will be . . . *I wonder if . .. Make a comment: *This is good because . . . *This is hard because . . . *This is confusing because . . . *I like the part where . . . *I don’t like this part because . . . Make a connection: *This reminds me of . . . *This part is like . . . *This is different because . . . *I also . .. *I never . . .
Examples/Non-examples of “Say Something” Ask a question: • This. Why are people starting to look at Thomas like he knows something? • Not that. Who is the boy that really doesn’t like Thomas? Make a prediction: • NOT this. I think that Thomas will run in the Maze because it is the title of the book. • But THAT. I think that the boys are going to start fighting / falling apart in the Glade because the girl is different, she says things will change, and there are no more helpers coming.
Examples/Non-examples of “Say Something” Make a comment: • This. I like the part where the boys are lipping off about the girl because it shows they are still just regular teenagers even with everything else that is going on. • Not that. I like the way she sits up so weird, talks, and holds her hand out because it is weird. Make a connection: • NOT this. This is like The Outsiders because all the main characters are boys. • But THAT. Gally’s hatred of Thomas is like Bob Sheldon not liking greasers. I think this because they don’t really know each other but they are making decisions about how they feel anyway.
