Mostly page by page, with text copied from Gutenberg. Generally I'll give it a paragraph (which in Ulysses can be multiple pages...) and start by saying "rewrite this in plain simple english" for the summary. Then I'll have it start rewriting in different forms, i.e. "rewrite this as a haiku" or "rewrite this as a poem in iambic pentameter with a modern setting using contemporary vernacular". Then once I understand the central themes, I can dig deeper and ask how it relates to the story as a whole, or how it ties back to events from The Odyssey.
