Hi girls!I am very excited to work with all of you on this book.To start I have assigned each of you a role for the first 101 pages.

The Discussion Director will be Jenny.
What your job is is to make a list of questions that your group might want to discuss about this part of the book. List at least 7 questions. You are also responsible for rating students 1-10 on their participation on the day of the reading group.

The Vocabulary Builder will be Peyton.
Your job is to find the important or unknown words in the readings. Then go and find the definition of the words. You may also run across familiar words that stand out somehow in the reading-words that are repeated a lot, used in an unusual way, or key to the meaning of the text. There must be at least 7 words.

The summarizer will be Laura.
Your job will be to prepare a brief summary of the week’s reading. The other members of your group will be counting on you to give a quick statement that conveys the gist, the key points, the main highlights, and the essence of the reading assignment. The paragraph should be a minimum of 7 sentences maximum of 10.

I will be the connector, because there are only 3 of you in the group.

Please have your posts in by Wednesday, October 16th. We will then be able to discuss the book through this blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
If you have any questions you can email me at sftbll_7@comcast.net, call me at 720-308-4916, or talk to Mrs. Thomas and she and I will figure out the answers! Have fun reading!
