Hi Ben,
Q. I started OWI with my classes and we did Write and Discuss with two of the reading options, questions from the back of the room and I’m moving to story. In the book A Natural Approach to Stories I see the 7 questioning levels. Do you suggest I follow all of them, including the actors in front of the class?
A. Yes. If you want to skip any of them of course you can since there are no rules in this work. But I very carefully tested those specific questions for a long time and they bring the best story so I strongly suggest you do them all. The fact is, the system is so tight, but I think that some people want to not follow what it says in the book exactly, with less power in the story. That, of course is just my opinion. I won’t do the town meeting as I have a small amount of students.
Thanks!
