Process:1. Work with your partner2. Read silently and simultaneously to a mutually agreed upon

stopping point (consider 1-3 paragraph chunking).3. When each partner is ready, stop and “say something.” The

something might be a question, a brief summary, a key point, an interesting idea, or a personal connection.

4. Continue the process until you have completed the section5. At the end of the reading, have a conversation about the

entire reading, inquiring into the other person’s thinking.6. End with a group discussion
