David's first no discussion baseline sample shows little effort and only a vague reference to the text and prompt to tell if he felt Ben Franklin's life was interesting.               

David's third session of no discussion baseline shows one implicit reason for how Amber feels in regards to her best friend's family selling their house. He provides no explicit example from the text.

    David's written response after both teacher facilitated and student led discussion is significantly improved in detail and reference to the text, as is seen in the samples below.

    In this session of student led discussion David shows he is more engaged and motivated to write in greater detail with reference to the text.
