Big Fish Bigger Fish Biggest Fish Protocol Complex text can offer many ideas and issues, but sometimes we need to address the foundational ideas, warrants of arguments, assumptions underlying a text, and make connections and take on those over-riding concepts. Set-up/Identify - Time : Read text, marking issues and concepts which seem to be, represent and/or imply the most important, controlling ideas and/or underlying assumptions. Focus/Evaluate - Time: Mark one or two ideas you think seem to include or subsume the others that address conditions or possibilities of teaching and learning. Discussion/Critique & Synthesize - Time: In small groups, ideally no larger than four, share your ideas and then prioritize or put into a hierarchy according to encompassing, critical or foundational idea. Optional: create an illustrative poster showing your collective thinking and rationale. Share/Social Critique - Time: Each group explains their thinking: the Biggest Fish and their rationale.
