     I am going to ask a question. I will give you a minute to think about the
     question, and then I will ask you to turn to your partner and discuss the
     question. Finally, I will call on several of you to share what you discussed
     with your partner.

6. Evaluative Think Pair Share: In this poem, Old King Cole called for
   three things: his pipe, his bowl, and his three fiddlers, and he got
   them right away. If you were king —or queen—what would you change
   in this poem? For example, instead of a pipe, you might call for a
   pizza; and instead of three fiddlers, you might call for three pianists—
   or people who play the piano.
