(Depending on how complex the text is and the amount of support needed by students, the teacher may choose to reverse the order of steps 1 and 2.)\nStudents and teacher re-read the text while stopping to respond to and discuss the questions and returning to the text.  A variety of methods can be used to structure the reading and discussion (i.e.:  whole class discussion, think-pair-share, independent written response, group work, etc.)\nText Dependent Questions\nText Dependent Questions\nAnswers\nOn page 490 the author repeats words, what words are repeated?
