Today's Learning Objective
Students will have meaningful discussions that analyze the text through various perspectives.

Reading Group Meetings
Remember your assigned roles:
 * **__Discussion Leader__**- Direct the discussion. Generate questions for the group to discuss and keep the group focused and on task.
 * **__Scribe__**- Take notes. Summarize responses discussed by the group to provide answers on the discussion form.
 * __**Text Tracker**__- Find the text evidence. Each question and response should have 2 pieces of text evidence. Cite the best quotes from the text and include page numbers.
 * __**Research Director**__- Perform any necessary research. Does your group need to Google something or look up a definition? This is your job! Cite your source in the group's response.

Finish meeting with your reading groups to discuss the first 6 chapters. Use the questions provided to direct your discussion. Research if necessary! Collaborate to answer the questions completely and generate more open-ended questions for further discussion. Incorporate text evidence with page numbers into each answer! After initial grading, this will form half of your prep notes for the Socratic Circle discussion after the next 6 chapters.

Narratives
Process Narratives - Read the first few pages of chapter 9 aloud. Look at how the text is organized. Begin by giving the process, step by step. Deviate from the process to dive into the story. The story and the process are woven together. Teacher Model- How is my draft coming along? Work on drafts.

Homework
