Asking students to back up their ideas from the text not only helps everyone to understand the idea, but it allows everyone to decide whether they find it plausible or convincing.
Transcript:
Student #1: I think she was just tricking him. It was just like a big trap.
Leader: What was the big trap?
Student #1: Well, the first time he came and she let him take the gold. The second she let him, too, but the third time was probably so they could take him.
Leader: Is there something in the story that makes you think that?
Student #2: She says hide in the oven so the next time she says hide in the oven, she can just turn it on.
