Well, this strategy is designed to have students speak to one another about—well, in this case literature, and writing, in order to share ideas, thoughts, and feelings in order to better understand the information that was presented. Through this method, students are forced to see the perspective of their peers, and thus, their horizons are hopefully broadened in an effort to either modify their way of thinking and to glint things they failed to notice before hand.
A way to integrate this into the class room, is to have a reading circle, where the students read either a novel, poem, or short story; all taking turns reading a part, Every time one of said students stop to switch, as the teacher, you can ask thought provoking questions about the information of which was just presented to them. The students can then take said question, and…discuss! Thus, they understand what they’re reading more so then they did before.
