 * For example, "Student observation: 'the clip introduces the author in a way that tries to make him look cool.' Facilitator: 'What film and sound techniques helped deliver that message? How'd you get that? And how might different people understand that message differently?" [Facilitator connects a A&A observation with M&M inquiry].
