This Literature circle session was the second one, and the end of the first round of reading.
Jobs & Pages:
Pages: 3 to 67.
David: Illustrator.
David: Illustrator.
Aleksa: Discussion director.
Riley: Vocabulary enricher.
About My Job:
In this round of reading, I was the illustrator. My job was to read the assigned pages, then do a sketch, cartoon, diagram, or stick figure scene. It was supposed to be about something in the book, something that the book reminded you of, or an element of the story (plot, character, setting). I chose to draw a sketch of something I read in the book. I did a sketch of Melanie and April picking up the new girl, Elizabeth, and bringing her to school.
The presentation plan was that when it was my turn to show my sketch, I would show the drawing to the other two group members, Aleksa and Riley, and they would guess what the drawing was about. Then I would tell them the correct answer. I did as the instructions said, when it was my turn I showed the sketch to Aleksa and Riley, and the guessed what it was about, then I told them the correct answer. Aleksa guessed that it was when April and Melanie first met. Riley guessed that it was a scene from the storage yard, where the Egypt game took place. The correct answer was, like I said in the previous paragraph, when April and Melanie picked up Elizabeth, the new girl, to take her to school.
Conclusion:
I think todays literature circle session went pretty well. All the group members did their jobs. Even though one group member forgot his work at home, he still read all the assigned pages and did the work; and he was able to remember some of it too, which was good.
Here is my sketch:
