Conference+Tuesday+-+What+to+do+during+a+meeting


 * What to do during a meeting** : These days are spent talking and discussing relevant information. Noise is allowed (I enjoy it), productive noise only is permitted.

The __Discussion Director__ is the leader of the meeting.
 * 1)** Greet each member of your group. Compliment if you can, but be sincere.
 * 2) ** Prior to starting each step, the __discussion director__ will read aloud what is expected for the next step in this conference.
 * 3)** The __Literary Luminary__ shall share his or her insight. Please state the //__reason__// why you are reading or having someone read your passage. Read aloud and enjoy discussion.
 * 4)** Each person shall share one or two __vocabulary words__ as written in the sentence. Then the group can converse on what they think the definition of the word is.
 * 5)** The role of the __Summarizer__ would be to deliver his great insight and thoughts. Now the group would discuss on the summarizers ideas and thoughts as a whole.
 * 6)** The __Illustrator__ would show his or her picture and allow the students to brainstorm what they think and discuss. The illustrator will not inform the others in the group until the group has discussed the illustration thoroughly.
 * 7)** The __Discussion Director__ would partake in their activity for the day and share.
 * 8)** Now it is time for the __Character Investigator__ to show his or her work. They can discuss the protagonist and antagonist in the story or any other characters they deem as important. Remember to continuously add to this throughout the story. You should also be adding this information to your __character page__ (p.13).
 * 9)** Confirm __readings__ for next week. (clarify: Chaps 1-4 vs Chaps 1,2,3,4)
 * 10)** Confirm what __role__ each of you is for next week. You have to switch roles please.
 * 11)** On your __bookmark__, please write the date for next Tuesday, what will be read and your role. Also, please pass your bookmark to a member in your group and allow them to peer assess you. //__The ratings are from 1 – 4__//. The four (4) rating means that you worked well and contributed in your group and completed all tasks/readings. The one (1) rating means you did not finish your role and/or readings as well as not contributing to group work. The two (2) and three (3) are in the middle. Please use your best judgment. Now please assess yourself with the same scale from 1-4.
 * 12)** Thank your group for their contributions and return to your seat and read quietly for the next meeting.
