Editor's Notes
- #2: This is the PowerPoint I used in the second mini-lesson on questioning. In the first lesson, I defined the three levels (¡°layers¡±) of questions, using a clip from the first Shrek movie (the ¡°ogres are like onions¡± clip) to grab attention and set up metaphor of peeling an onion to peeling the layers of a text to ¡°dig out¡± deeper truths of a text.
