Activity #1

Reading Chapter 8

The Rules for Lit. Circle Discussions:

1. While we read each chapter you will be expected to complete your job for that chapter. Each member of the group will have a different job, and the jobs will rotate each chapter so you will never have the same job twice in a row.
2. If we do not finish reading a chapter in class it will be your responsibility to finish the reading, and complete your job for homework. 
3. At the start of each class the following day you will engage in a literature circle discussion about the reading. 
4. The Discussion Director is in charge. They lead the conversation. 
5. You will take turns sharing, and engaging the rest of your group in a discussion about your job using questions.

Discussion Questions:

• Why does Harry get into trouble with Filch?
• What kinds of things do you get into trouble for at home?
• Who invites Harry to their Deathday party?
• Do you think he made the right decision? Would you go to the party? Why, or why not?
• Harry hears the voice again and he tries to follow it. What would you do if you were Harry?
• What does Harry find when he follows the voice?
• How would you react to the writing on the wall, and Mrs. Norris being petrified?
• What do you think the teachers/Dumbledore should do?
• Should Hogwarts be closed? Explain.
• What should Harry do about the voices? What would you do?
