Here are the jobs and descriptions I use (and they are only to guide the group discussion):The visualizer chooses a section of the passage read that they clearly visualized in their head. They draw a picture of it, and | then write the words or phrases that helped them see the picture in thier mind. The word watcher chooses interesting, or unknown words from the passage. They write what they think the meaning is, then look the meaning up in the dictionary, and write a synonym and antonym for each word. The character sketcher lists the main characters, describes them, writes down noticings about their | | actions and dialogue, and their relationships with other characters.The scence setter basically describes the setting. The summarizer is in charge of summarizing and finding the most important events in the story. I've seen other jobs out there like discussion director, and connection maker. There is tons of stuff on the internet. I just typed in "literature circles" into Google and found tons of stuff. I absolutely love lit. circles. GOod luck with them!
