This document contains instructions and questions for a lesson asking students to summarize passages from a book by coming up with their own points and providing evidence to support those points. The lesson focuses on having students remember how to prove their own points and come up with their own ideas, rather than being given points by the teacher. Students are asked a series of questions to prompt them to analyze how Stanley feels towards other characters and about his experiences at Camp Green Lake based on chapters from the book.
