READING CIRCLE ROLES

When you work on your role sheet, remember these words:

READ ~ THINK ~ CONNECT ~ ASK ~~ AND CONNECT

READ-

• Read the story once without stopping.

• Read it again while you work on your role sheet.

THINK ~

• Look for passages in the story that are interesting or unusual. Think about them. Prepare some questions to ask about them.

• Think about the meanings of words. If you use a dictionary, try to use an English-to-English learner's dictionary.

CONNECT ~

• Connect with the characters' thoughts and feelings. Perhaps it is a horror story and we cannot 'connect' with an experience like this, but we can see how the characters are thinking or feeling.

ASK-

• Ask questions with many possible answers; questions that begin with How? Why? What? Who? Do not ask yes/no questions.

• When you ask questions, use English words that everyone in your circle can understand, so that everyone can talk about the story.

AND CONNECT ~

• Connect with your circle. Share your ideas, listen to other people's ideas. If you don't understand something, ask people to repeat or explain. And have fun!

The role sheets are on the next six pages (and on page 121 there are role badges you can make). Bigger role sheets, with space for writing, are in the Teacher's Handbook. Or you can read about your role in these pages, and write your notes and questions in your own notebook.
