After responding to journal, think pair share with your group and record each of their names and examples under your response. Remember these responses should be detailed paragraphs. Follow the steps for responding to quotes. Should you ever not understand a quote, break it a part and write about the parts you understand. Then you should be able to construct some meaning. For the quote above, ask yourself why is Education the only commodity, who is the customer he is referring to and why does that customer want as little as they an for their money? You should then be able to figure out the meaning. You can also add to your journals after group and class discussion.
