Updated Roles
1.) Discussion Director- All questions must be implicit, and require more than a yes or no answer. Include at least one question that relates to a specific passage, event, or conversation. Include the page number(s) so that your group may view and annotate it during the discussion.
2.) Director of Rhetoric- Be sure that you identify three different devices (no repeats!). With your group, guide partners to the pages in the book where it is located and have them annotate, using pencil and book flags.
3.) Art Director- Please be specific about what your drawing represents. If you have illustrated a particular scene or passage, please include the chapter/page number; groups will read the passage during the art share portion of the meeting.
4.) Vocabulary Director- During your meeting, create sentences of your own using the vocab words.
5) Context Director- Be more specific with research. All of these books have notes at the end featuring information on what is fiction and what is historical fact. Some specific ideas:
- Blood on the River - Life of John Smith, Pocahontas, Chief Powhatan
- Fever, 1793 - Research Stephen Girard and Dr. Benjamin Rush; conflicting medical treatments (bleeding/not bleeding)
- My Brother Sam is Dead - General Israel Putnam, Colonel Read, Tom Warrups.
- Octavian Nothing - Duke of Montagu & Francis Williams, Benjamin Banneker
- A Break With Charity - Tituba, Rev. Parris, Puritanism and founding of Salem
