Lit circle directions for book 2 - the classics take 1

The book and conversation should be completed by class on January 15th (Friday)

You will have class time on Dec. 11 (next week) to read

• give out the roles (discussion director, word watcher, illustrator, illuminator and summarizer/connector)
• start assigning pages to read

You should be keeping logs in your notebook whenever you read:

• date
• pages read
• summary of your reading from that time
• whatever your role is

You should have evidence of group conversation... in your notebook the conversation should be driven by your role. 

• date of meeting and who was involved in the conversation
• conversation based on your role
• questions you have going forward

Notebooks will be checked in class when you are reading in class and on the 15th when you return the books -
I will be looking for evidence of:

• comprehension of the text
• your own analysis of the text
• conversation with your group and/or others
• following directions

At the end, you should have AT LEAST 10-15 entries - more is acceptable... less is not.
