Small Group Discussion (groups of 4-5 students)-- reviewing trip journals/readings

• Go through each reading and identify the main idea or thesis of that story/essay. 
• Clarify any confusions you may have had, either with each other or Ashley if needed.
• Share out the "cliff notes" version of Journal #3- this is an opportunity to remind each other of the readings and discuss  your reactions to the readings in preparation for the in-class writing.
