This document outlines the rules for a guessing game where students are each given a card with a noun from a short story printed on it without being able to see it. Students take turns showing their card to the group and then asking yes or no questions to try and guess the noun before the timer runs out. It also provides follow up questions to discuss what question strategies and story details were most helpful or challenging.

your card! ! The card has a noun printed on it from one of the
shor t stories that we have read

group your card, and when you are done showing them your

help you guess what the noun on the card is
 You will want to ask things like “is it a person?” “is it a place?” “is it
an object?” and then once you have asked a few questions, you can
narrow down the questions by asking things like “is it something from
A Rose For Emily?” etc.
