Reading+Roles

=Reading Roles= ===Below is a list of jobs/roles that we came up with as a group. As we read the assigned chapters, each of us will be responsible for one of the jobs listed below. The jobs will rotate with each new reading assignment, so everyone will get the opportunity to experience each job at least once.=== Click here to see the assigned chapters and job assignments


 * Character Cartographer**: The Character Cartographer will post information about the characters introduced throughout the book. He/she should include all characters from the assigned reading selection. If a character has already been introduced, they should tell how the character has changed or developed. Both internal (thoughts and feelings of the character) and external characteristics (what you can see when you look at the character) should be included.


 * Creative Connector**: The Creative Connector will discuss connections he/she made while reading //Tuck Everlasting//. They may make text to text (connections between the assigned reading and another book), text to self (connections between the assigned reading and something he or she has personally experienced), or text to world connections (connections between the assigned reading and something that is happening or has happened in the world). Connections along with a good explanation should be posted to our wiki.


 * Lifeguard**: This person will act as an assistant/helper to the others. He/she will help with editing and organization. The Lifeguard may add to what someone has already written, but we ask that he/she does not delete anyone's work.


 * Literary Device Detective**: The Literary Device Detective will post different literary devices that he/she discovers while reading. They should include the literary device, page # it can be found on, and a detailed explanation of it. The Literary Device Detective will then post their findings on our wiki.


 * Postman**: This person is responsible for developing one or two good discussion questions about the section of the book that was read. The Postman will post their question on the homepage under discussion and the other students will then respond.


 * Word Wizard**: The Word Wizard will be on the lookout for important words in the text. He/she should look for unfamiliar words, difficult words, key words to the story, confusing words, interesting words, etc. The Word Wizard will then define the words and post them along with their definitions on our wiki. At __least__ 5 words should be included from each section. (Remember, more is better!)


 * Wrapper Upper**: The Wrapper Upper is responsible for summarizing the chapters that were read. He/she should include a detailed overview of the plot and setting. The summary should be thorough without being too wordy. The Wrapper Upper will then post the summary on our wiki.
