**Discussion Tips**

 * Ask meaningful questions (Layers 2 & 3) that encourage a deep discussion about the text.
 * Share connections to the text--personal connections, connections to other texts, connections to current issues or to societal issues or problems (BIG IDEAS).
 * Keep taking it back to the book. Don't let your discussion wander too far from the book.
 * Piggyback on others' comments. Don't just "answer" questions, but have a back-and-forth discussion.
 * Agree or disagree with others' ideas by adding your own thoughts about issues. But, disagree in a nice way!
 * Jump in multiple threads of conversation so that you're CONTINUALLY adding to conversation or listening (reading) to what others have to say.
 * Etherpad allows you to have multiple conversations going at one time by posting topics/questions and putting a space between each.
 * Don't wait for someone to respond to what you've just written. Jump to another thread and then come back later, or start a new thread.
 * Enhance your literature circle discussion with both face-to-face discussion and online discussions!
 * Stay focused on the discussion. Don't be distracted by other groups or other tasks that draw you away from discussion.
