Lit. Circle Discussions

&

Chapter 10 Summarizing Assessment

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

• USE QUESTIONS TO ENGAGE THE REST OF YOUR GROUP MEMBERS! 
• Summarizer - What would you include in a summary? Why? What is the most important part of this chapter?
• Character Captain - What character do you want to talk about? What did they do, say, think, feel, etc? What did we learn about this character?
• Vocab Enricher - Pick a word. Take your group to the page. Have someone read the sentence. What do you guys think this word means? 
• Conflict Evaluator - What conflicts did you identify in this chapter? Why was this a conflict?
• Mood & Tone Analyzer - What is the mood (Tone) of this chapter? Why?
• Discussion Director - Read the questions that you have already prepared
1. A Lightbulb Moment!!! - Did anything stand out to you?
2. A Question Mark - Is there anything you didn't understand? Perhaps something that you would want JK Rowling to explain?
3. A Connection - What did you learn (about yourself) from this chapter?

Discussion Questions:

• What do Harry, Ron & Hermione decide to do about the Polyjuice potion plan?
• Why do you think Hermione wants to break the rules and make the potion more than Harry and Ron?
• What odd thing did the bludger do?
• Who won the Quidditch match?

Your summaries should include:

• Have you written the main idea?
• What did you write for your main idea?
• What details are you including?
• Why are those details important?
• Have you used any transitional words to connect your thoughts and sentences? 
• Are there any places where you should use transitional words or phrases.
• What are your thoughts on the events of the chapter? (reflection)
• What do you think about what you read? 
• How do these events show that Harry is a literary hero?
• Capitals, Periods, Grammar, & Sentence Structure

YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO FOLOW THE RULES OF WRITING.
