Come get materials! “The Quote Sandwich” Handout Make sure to get one for each person in your table group. Also, please excuse the typo in this handout.

Let’s split up the reading Half of the class will read page two. The other half will read page three. Make sure to read it thoroughly as you will need to teach someone from the other side of the room about what you learned from the page you read. Read your assigned page silently to yourselves until further notice.

Time to move around! Stand up and find someone from the opposite side of the room. Leave your handout behind. Then, teach them about what you learned from the page you read. Be ready to share when we come back together as a class!
