25. Data-Driven Dialogue - Copyright 2006 – MiraVia LLC – All rights reserved Question Brainstorming On your own -- generate 2-3 questions about gender and reading at the 3rd grade level. Record each of these on a post-it note. Share and categorize your post-it notes. Create labels for your categories. “Step back” from your categories. Surface the assumptions that underpin your ideas and categories.
