Pairs!

Today: 

• We’re going to try working in pairs in a few different ways today. First, you’ll move through a few sets of random pairs. You’ll talk for about five minutes in each pair, then come back and out chat waterfall a “big question” or a “small quote” that emerged from your conversation. You might structure your “elevator pitch” this way: 
  • Hey, [friend], I’m reading [BOOK], which is basically about _____. In the pages we read for today, the narrator was becoming a young adult. There was one scene that really stuck with me. [One sentence summary]. The line I keep thinking about is [quote with page number]. It got me thinking about [whatever it got you thinking about]. Were there any moments in your book that spoke to you like that? 
•  After that “cross-book” talk, we’ll move into our book groups to discuss the particular pages for today. React to them and think about what passages are interesting to you, and what questions are emerging for you. 

Groups!

Research!
