"Now, I’d like to hear from some of you about the homework you completed based on our previous lesson. Can I have 2-3 volunteers to present their insights? Remember, as your classmates present, think about constructive feedback you can offer.
Who would like to go first? [Wait for students to volunteer.] Great! Please share your thoughts with us!"
"Thank you all for your presentations! Now, we are moving into our group discussions. Please turn to the person next to you and form groups of five. Once you are in your groups, I will assign each of you a specific theme or literary element from 'FlickerfadeGone' to discuss.
[Pause to allow students to form groups and assign themes.]
Remember, your discussions will be guided by the discussion questions I handed out. Make sure to actively listen to each other, and I’ll be walking around to facilitate."

I’ll be circulating around the room, so don’t hesitate to ask me any questions or seek clarification if needed. Let’s get started!"
"Alright, time is up! I hope you all had engaging discussions. Now, each group will share the key points from your conversation with the class. Let’s start with Group 1.
[As each group shares, encourage the rest of the class to listen and take notes, possibly prompting additional questions if time allows.]
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your insights!"
"As we wrap up today's lesson, let’s summarize the main themes discussed during the group sharing. Can anyone volunteer to remind us of some key points?
[Encourage a few students to share themes.]
Great! Now, I would like you to take a moment to reflect on how 'FlickerfadeGone' relates to your own experiences. Think about a time when you might have related to the themes we discussed today.
