Happy Tuesday, everyone! I don't know about you, but I wasn't used to being back at work for that long after a week off. I was pretty exhausted yesterday. But, I'm all rested up and ready to get back to it in full swing today! Today each of your novel groups is going to be getting a folder with some guidelines and expectations on it. We are going to go over these guidelines for working in our groups with these novels. Yesterday, also, you laid out in your exit slip what you think acceptable group work is, and what you think each of our jobs and roles should be in this process. We are going to read Chapter One today in each of our respective books. As we read, we will annotate using what we learned yesterday, and then discuss what we wrote, how we feel, confusions we have, etc. We are also going to begin our plot diagram of the story. Each person in the group is going to complete their own. Lastly, because we are not all reading the same book, we are going to keep a twitter feed of the happenings of each book. Each team will write a one sentence summary about the portion they read, and we will post them for other teams to read and discover what is happening in the other books. This may also be useful for Friday's Mix and Mingles. Reminders:
