Listen for your name to be called. You will
also be told where to go. When you get with your
group you will be given a book, an ERT, and a
problem solution chart to work on. Your group
will read the book. Take turns reading. You may
wish to read a paragraph and then next person and
so on. When your group has finished, you may
discuss the ERT and problem solution chart. Work
on as a group, but each person must turn in a
completed sheet themselves. You start with 10
points if your group is too noisy you will loose
points.
