My English teacher, Mrs. Keener, would assign us text selections for homework, and the next day we would engage in a discussion called a Socratic Seminar about what we were reading. Someone asks questions about the text, then the rest of the class shares their opinion about it. It took me a little while to get used to this method of discussion, but I grew to love it. If I didn't understand some of the assigned reading, I could discuss it with my classmates and we would help each other understand it better. It helped me learn what I should really look for in what I was reading and how to explain my reasoning behind what I was reading.
