Presentation transcript:

Review of roles and expectations

  Each role will lead a part of the discussion.  The leader of the discussion will “teach” the others in the group about what you learned.  The group will take notes on what was said on their own role sheets.  The group will ask questions and/or discuss the topics.  I will be observing for a 10 point participation grade. Directions

  You should have researched different pieces of background information. Some good ideas:  What did you find out about the author and his/her life?  What did you find out about the time period the book is set in?  What was going on historically when this book was written?  What other books has the author written?  Is there anything we should pay close attention to as we read? Investigator

  Your job will be to turn to the page where you found the word, read the sentence to the group, and see if anyone knows the definition.  If yes, share your answer too. Decide as a group what to record.  If no, share your answer. Everyone will write down what you have said. Word Wizard

  Your job is to read each of the possible discussion questions to the group.  Then, the group should number them 1-5 in importance to discuss. 1 is most important, 5 is least.  Proceed to be begin the question by asking it, then do a rotating chair, calling on each other.  The Discussion Director will summarize and move on to the next question when s/he feels the question has been discussed enough. Discussion Director

  Your job is to lead a discussion about the setting.  Discuss each question on the sheet AND why it matters to the plot of the story.  Determine if the story would be the same if it were set somewhere else.  Determine if the action is mostly located in one place or if there are multiple locations.  Discuss the events at each location. Travel Guide

  Read each quote to the group.  Rate the quotes 1-5, 1 is the most interesting, 5 is the least.  Discuss each quote. Why does the author include this? Who says it? Why is it important?  Have students copy three of the quotes they like. Quote Master

  By the end of the discussion, students should have their entire packet filled out.  Hand in ONLY the role sheets you were responsible for leading the discussion on.  Be sure your name is on the role sheet.  Book Club should hand in role sheets as a group. End of Discussion
