While a designated reader/teacher reads page 13 text, the teacher will model a

What is progress?
 How can you determine that progress has been made?
What are some areas in your life /society you believe there has been
progress?

With the entire class participating students will take two minutes to turn and
talk with the person sitting next to them and briefly discuss the text read and
