Activity #1

Lit. Circle Discussion Chapter 16-18 

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 topic/job.

The Order for Sharing:
1. The Summarizer
2. The Character Captain
3. The Vocabulary Enricher *
4. The Conflict Evaluator *
5. The Mood & Tone Analyzer *
6. The Discussion Director
