=‍ Discussion: =
 * In groups, put pieces of paper in a pile in the middle of the group. When I say to start, 1 person from the group should grab a piece of paper and ask the question. The group has 1 minute to openly discuss answers to the question. Watch the timer on the board to keep up with time.
 * After each question is discussed, put the question in the "good" pile or the "bad" pile. "Good" questions are questions that sparked discussion for the whole minute, and could have possibly went longer. "Bad" questions are those that do not spark much conversation, and group is left waiting for the next round.
 * Do this for 5 rounds of questioning.

 * As a class, generate a list of "good" questions that apply to the picture and the text.
