The passage discusses shared inquiry discussions as a method of learning. It involves interpretive questions from the leader to guide discussion and encourage different interpretations supported by evidence from the text. There are three types of questions: interpretive, factual, and evaluative. Interpretive questions are the main tool for discussion and should have more than one possible answer. Factual questions provide objective context while evaluative questions ask participants to make judgements based on interpretations and their own experience. The leader challenges unclear or inaccurate statements and ensures the discussion remains focused on the text.
