Apply: Students use Skype to access and interact with Mystery Readers from different parts of the world. Perspective: Share different points of view and interpretations of the text. Empathize: Find value in different responses to texts (interpretations, feelings, understandings) and support others in developing comprehension by sharing own ideas.

Students will think metacognitively and make thinking visible through discussions and responses to the text. See Rubric |
