• Please select one member of your group to signal
  me when you have completed each step.

Step One 15-20 minutes

• Share your object and your analysis with your
  group members.
• After everyone has shared, pick one
  object/analysis to focus on in step two.
• Note This part of the exercise is not supposed
  to be critical. That is, just share. Do not
  subject anyones analysis to critique.

Step Two 15 minutes

• Turn to N 163, Evaluating Around the Circle
  Using the one analysis that you have chosen,
  subject each of the elements to the questions
  that appear on this page.
• Then turn to N 166-67. Use the Standards Check
  here to confirm your answers to the questions on
  163. Note You should find substantial overlap
  as well as new ways of thinking about the
  analysis.

Step Three 10 minutes

• As a group, use what you have learned from
  checking the analysis of one group members
  object to improve that analysis. Rewrite or
  recast it as necessary.
• Then figure out how to present the analysis to
  the class (just the elements).

Step Four

  groupshould present the revised analysis of an
  object to the whole class. The presenter does
  not have to be the original author of the
