Book Club Meeting Day 3
You'll have the first large chunk of class to discuss your book with your group.

Each member of your group will share their roles in the following order:

1. Discussion Director - Spend the most time on this one! Answer/discuss the questions! 
2. Signpost Spotter
3. Captivating Connector
4. Vocab Master

Remember, your Discussion Director will be grading each member of the group on participation, so stay engaged!

Signpost - Tough Questions
What is it?! - When you are reading and the character asks him/herself a really difficult question.

Everything you need for this will be at the Signpost website (lots of great examples!!) and on Google Classroom.
We will watch the video as a class and then discuss before writing your RACE paragraph.

Essay Revision:
PLEASE FILL OUT THE REVISION REQUEST if you make edits to your essay.
