2. During:

1. Sit in groups of 4. Determine your order for being in the middle of the fishbowl. You may only change order if the you are not in the class the question is for.
2. Read the question on the slide.
3. Ask yourself at least 5 questions to help you figure out the answer. Remember, there are questions of form and questions of function:
1. Question of Form: Which answers can I eliminate?

4. Work out the answer to the question.
5. Progress to the next slide and next person!
3. After:
