Each person in your group will have a role. Read your role and take notes on the reading as directed to prepare for a group discussion. 1.Discussion Leader: You are responsible for discovering key elements in the reading and coming up with a list of analytical questions for group discussion. What did the text make you think about? What are the main ideas of the reading? What is the historical significance? What questions should you ask to help you comprehend this primary source (can include confusing vocab) 2. Polisher: Identify 2-3 important passages (one from each paragraph) in the reading section and lead your group members in a discussion of the passages. The passages should be interesting, confusing, important. Your notes should include why you selected these passages and 1 question to ask the group about each passage. 3.Linker: Your job is to connect the reading with what you know about the time period of the 19th century and with today. As you read, write your questions and connections down in your notes. Consider: What links can you make between the reading and the time period, class lessons, current events? What questions do you have about how the text relates to the time period? 4.Summarizer: Your job is to create a graphic organizer that summarizes the main points of the reading. You need to make the organizer easy for the rest of the group to see as you explain it to them. Think about: What are the most important ideas in the reading? Why are they so important? What is the main idea of this reading selection? What questions would you see on an exam about this reading?
