"A book, too, can be a star, 'explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,' a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe." - from Madeleine L'Engle's Newberry Medal Acceptance Speech

Readers work thoughtfully in groups!


Readers use their notes to have thoughtful discussions on texts and therefore gain new insights through discussions. When readers work in groups, they:
o      listen to, understand, and expand on each other’s ideas
o      explain and support ideas with textual evidence
o      ask thoughtful questions
o      offer new opinions and perspectives
o      make connections
o      stay on task and complete task on time; set goals and keep each other on track

Task:

    1. Look back at your revised notes. Choose the most noteworthy one.
    2. In your groups, discuss and record your ideas.
