* Be sure to use the 4 C's of 21st Century Learning
* Each member is expected to contribute to the discussion
* When you share, REMEMBER TO USE QUESTIONS TO ENGAGE THE REST OF YOUR GROUP MEMBERS! When you share it is your job to get the rest of the group involved. The best way to do this is to ask questions, like: what do you think, how did this make you feel, etc. Use open ended questions.

***At the end of your discussion the summarizers will do the 30 Second Recap Challenge.
***There may be a prize for the winner!!!

Key Questions from Mr. T:
1. Do you think Harry is doing the right thing by not telling Dumbledore about the voices? Why?
2. What did Harry and Ron find out about Malfoy when they were disguised? What would you do now if you were them?
