Four Square Task Explanations
Passage Picking / Your task in the Passage Picker square is to find passages/quotes in the story that you think are interesting, surprising, important, meaningful, and thought-provoking or demonstrate foreshadowing. Record each passage you chose, the page in which you found it, why you chose it and the importance it has to the story. If the passage is too long, record the first and last parts of the excerpts. You will read these to your group and share why you chose your passages.Image Illustrating/ Paperclip Frames / This task involves visualizing what you’ve read.
