a. Require students to work collaboratively and individually, addressing questions about major life themes that appear in the novel.
b. Train students to use a set of generic question stems (see Wolcott; Lynch, 2001) to create their own questions appropriate for the content to be learned.
c. Require students to answer each other’s questions in small groups.

Student Example – Working Thesis
Nosocomial infections in hospitals develop because of issues related to visitors and staff hygiene; the improper handling of breathing machines and ventilators; the
improper insertion or maintenance of catheters and intravenous lines; the
failure to follow use of sterile protocol during surgery and transfusions; and the opportunity that bacteria endogenous to the patient find when the patient is in a
weakened state.
![Page 22: Stewart Distinguished Teaching Award Recipients, 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062811/56816197550346895dd14684/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Student Example – In EssayHospitals are generally known as places of remedy.
Persons who are ill go there with the expectation that they will receive treatment and recover. Unfortunately however, many of those individuals develop an infection as a direct consequence of their stay in the hospital. Infections that are acquired while a patient is in the hospital are referred to as nosocomial infections; a term derived from nosos the Greek word for 'disease'. Nosocomial infections occur worldwide and affect both developed and resource-poor countries. Even though many strides have been made in the progress of public health and hospital care, infections continually develop in patients admitted to healthcare facilities.
There are many factors that promote the increase in infection rates among patients. These include: the decreased immunity among patients that gives bacteria endogenous to the patient the chance to develop; poor infection control practices that facilitate transmission of pathogens to the patient and their environment; bacteria that become drug-resistant, rendering antibiotics ineffective; the improper insertion or maintenance of catheters and intravenous lines; the improper handling of breathing machines and ventilators; and the failure to follow sterile and aseptic protocol during surgical procedures.
