Familiars

Team Study.  Everybody comes with three connections not in the text.  The connections may be of various types: your best idea, your wildest idea, your funniest idea, or the idea you would most like to see in the text.  All connections are typed, with no names.  Mix them in a box.  Draw one at a time.  Decide which type it belongs to, how it scores in that type, and whether it would be useful in review.  The team can also try to guess the author. 

Brainstorming:  Stick all the connections on the wall, arranged by types.  Take the type that has the fewest answers and think of enough new answers to beat out all the others.
