Literature Groups#3
There are four Lit Group Jobs. Each person will do a different job for each time you meet. Each job is worth 10 points.
When you are sharing, the Discussion Director begins by sharing one question. Discuss that for no more than five minutes. Then go around the group, letting each person share for no more than five minutes each. After each person has shared one of his or her findings, go around the group again until I call time. It’s okay if you do not have time to share all your work. You’ll be graded on whether your individual job assignment is completed.
As a group, you will focus on how prison is affecting Meursault? (How has he changed? How does he survive? How is he treated by guards? By other prisoners?)
- Discussion Director: Your job is to write five open-ended, provocative questions that your group can discuss about the part of the book you’ve been assigned for the meeting. Do not create questions that can be answered with a yes or no. Ask questions that will stimulate real thought and discussion. “Why” questions are usually good. Then answer your own questions with at least one complete sentence.
- Illustrator: Your job is to create a picture related to the topic. It can be a drawing, cartoon, diagram, chart, or scene. Select a quotation from the book that fits the drawing or explains. Write a lead-in for the quotation, copy the quotation and write at least three sentences of interpretation. In your interpretation, make it clear why the quotation you selected and the picture you drew are significant. You should have a four to six sentence paragraph. You may write the paragraph on the back of the illustration if you prefer.
- Poet: Your job is to create a poem related to the reading. The poem should be at least twelve lines in length, although it may be longer. The poem may rhyme or not. Be prepared to read your poem to the group.
- Connector: Your job is to write at least three connections between the section you’ve read and the real world. This means connecting the reading to real life, or other books or characters, to happenings at school or the community, or to similar events, people, or problems in history. Use your personal experience or brief internet research to connect meaningful ideas Write at least three sentences about each of the three connections (so at least nine sentences total).
