• Reading Comprehension (Classroom Setting)

and the others alternate between taking on different
roles (predictor, questioner, summarizer, clarifier).
They discuss the content, making predictions, asking
questions, summarizing, and clarifying difficult
concepts.

• History Debate
• Students take on roles of different historical figures or perspectives and
teach each other about their assigned roles, defending their positions
through debate.
• Example:
• Student A: “I represent the Union during the Civil War. I argue that
preserving the Union was essential to preventing the collapse of the
country.”
• Student B: “I represent the Confederacy. My position is that states’
rights are fundamental, and the Union should not dictate our policies.”
