[KC]: Shared Inquiry Circle Groups

Hi all!

For this unit we'll be conducting shared inquiry circle discussions. There will be three of them across the next three weeks.

Here are the rules of a Shared Inquiry Circle (SIC):

1. Only those who have read the selection may take part in discussion.
2. Discussion is restricted to the selection that everyone has read.
3. Support for opinions should be found within the selection.
4. Leaders may only ask questions—they may not answer them.

Here are the things you need to know: 

• Everyone needs to have actively read the week's chapters and come prepared to speak.
• The week's leader will need to prepare FIVE thought-provoking questions for the group to discuss. These should be open-ended questions centered on the text. 

Here are the groups: 

(If you're a "floater", I'll talk to you Monday about your role in this)

On Monday, you'll need to meet for a minute with your group to figure out who is A, B, and C (meaning which week you will be the leader). 

Our first SIC will be next Wednesday 4/25 on Chapters 1-5. 

Get ready, yo!

[KC]: PoF Dear Reader Letter

This handwritten reflection should be turned in on Friday with your final draft. Don't forget to be thorough in your discussion. I want to know what went on behind the scenes. Reflect honestly and completely. How on task were you? How much research did you do? How much revision did you do? How much advice did you seek? Was this process hard? etc.
