Yes, this could likely be true. But there are instances when
it would not. For example, if you are doing Book Club groups,
you might work with one group on one text, while other groups
work on texts that are related in some way, but are not the
same. Hope this helps. (It's been 4-5 years since I taught Big
Blocks, so if anyone else wants to comment, that would be
great!
