Activity #1
Ch. 6 & 7 Lit Circle Discussion
but first... a quick comprehension check

Standards
RL6.3 Describe how a story's plot unfolds in a series of episodes
RL6.4 Determine the meaning of unknown words & phrases


Rules for Lit Circle Discussions:
The Discussion Director is in charge. They facilitate the conversation.
Sharing goes in this order:
1. The summarizer
2. The Character Captain
3. The Passage Picker
4. The Connector
5. The Vocabulary Enricher
6. The Discussion Director
* Be sure to use the 4 C's of 21st Century Learning
* Each member is expected to contribute to the discussion
* When you share, REMEMBER TO USE QUESTIONS TO ENGAGE THE REST OF YOUR GROUP MEMBERS! When you share it is your job to get the rest of the group involved. The best way to do this is to ask questions, like: what do you think, how did this make you feel, etc. Use open ended questions.

*We will now begin to read Chapter 9 aloud*

    Key Questions:
    • What types of Conflicts can you identify?
