Your+Job+for+Your+Group


 * Before** your group meets for a literature circle investigation:
 * Read and mark the assigned pages
 * Complete your assigned job. Put your notes on your individual page.
 * Good examples hyperlinked at the end.

Assigned Job Choices:

 * 1) **Discussion Director** : prepare 4-5 discussion questions based on the reading. These should be questions which involve opinion and evidence from the book. Instead of //What do you think will happen next?// ask stuff like: //In what ways was the event in this section foreshadowed by previous sections.// Give us questions that will encourage us to think and discover new layers about this piece of literature. ** Rory **
 * 2) ** Literary Luminary **: find 2-3 quotes that you want to bring up during your group's discussion. You can ask your group questions about the quote (//What does this mean to you?)// or point out why the quote was significant to you. Give us quotes to think about to help us understand the themes of the story. Jase; Wyatt
 * 3) **Vocabulary Miser** : find 2-3 enriching words to investigate and educate your group about. Review the McCarthy sentence in which the word appears and the researched definition which best fits that context. Teach us vocabulary that we can use to enrich our own reading and writing .** Kendra **
 * 4) **Connection Master** : think about the assigned reading and find 2-3 places which you can specifically relate to. Explain in several sentences what outside connections you can apply to help everyone understand and empathize a bit more. Connect to your previous life experiences, other things you've read, movies or TV shows you've seen. Make connections to help us understand the situation more vividly. **Lauren; Michael**
 * 5) (For the 5 member group only) **Cultural Connector** : think about the assigned reading and find 2-3 places which you can specifically connect to your culture (family, school, country, etc). Is this book valuable across cultures or is it quintessentially American? Make connections to help us understand the situation more vividly.


 * 1) **Recorder**: This job will be completed during the class time. Record the main ideas that your group reviewed during the literature circle on the group page. //**Every person should be recorder at least once.**//
