5. Lit Group Expectations
Everyone participates during the lit group meeting (at all times)
Playing games, off topic discussions, moving too quickly through the procedure, etc will result in a loss of points for the meeting
While there is an assigned facilitator, everyone asks/answers questions to further the group’s understanding of the story.
The goal of lit groups is to gain a deeper understanding of the literature. Don’t be afraid to actually analyze the story – go out on a limb.
