    In the file, there is a bullet point on page 1 with some typos, it reads, "At a minimum, students should thoroughly thought through the each of the 5Qs and be able to verbalize a complete response to each question". 

    I suggest changing to, "At a minimum, students should thoroughly think through each of the 5Qs and be able to verbalize a complete response to each question."

    Thanks for sharing this resource.
