Ms. Reynolds tells her class that they will be in a small group discussion tomorrow. They will discuss how the characters change in the book they just finished reading. What is one thing the students can do to prepare for this small group discussion?

In order for small group discussions to be effective, there are certain things students need to do to prepare for them. One way a student can prepare is by reading about the discussion topic before coming to class. They can also take notes on the topic. Then they can refer to the notes if they forget something about the topic.
