An example would be to have a topic for example if we are learning about finding the theme of a story, I would assigned a story and ask students to read it and come prepared to discussed with peers. Then, I would pose a question. The open-ended question would be, What is the theme of the story? Then, I would have a discussion where each student exposes their ideas and we follow up with clarifying questions reminding them to use evidence from their story. Every student will get an opportunity to share their ideas.
