Activity #1

Read Chapter 14

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. 
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 the leader of the conversation. 
5. You will take turns sharing, and engaging the rest of your group in a discussion about your topic/job.
6. When you share it is your job to get the rest of the group involved. DO NOT READ! USE QUESTIONS TO ENGAGE THE REST OF YOUR GROUP MEMBERS! 

• Summarizer: 
• What happened in this chapter?
• What would you include in a summary? Why? 
• What are the most relevant details/events in this chapter? Put the events in order.
• What's the main idea? (USE YOUR BOOK)
• Character Captain:
• What characters were in this chapter? 
• What did they do, say, think, feel, etc? 
• What did we learn about this character? 
• Who were the most important characters? 
• How did they impact the story? 
• Vocab Enricher:
• Pick a word. Take your group to the page. 
• Have someone read the sentence. 
• Ask, "What do you guys think this word means?" Then let them guess.
• After everyone takes a guess, share the definition at the end. REPEAT! 
• Conflict Evaluator:
• What conflicts did you identify in this chapter? 
• Why was this a conflict? 
• Is it an internal or external conflict? 
• How does this conflict impact the story?
• Discussion Director:
• Read the questions that you have already prepared. 
• You can also ask the three questions below.
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?
