Discussion Leader

Your job is to keep the discussion going and make sure there are not silences or not gaps in the conversation. You should come to the meeting with three "thinking" questions to ask in case the conversation slows down. These "thinking" questions should be designed to get people in your group thinking about issues and topics in the reading. They should not be "recall" questions that ask for facts from the book. You are also in charge of keeping the discussion focused so that things don't wander too far from the main topic, which is the book.

Summarizer

Your job is to write and then present a summary of the events that happened in the assigned reading. Then you will use your written summary as a guide to remind people in your group what the reading was about. In addition to writing and presenting your summary, you will need to bring a thinking question to the group. This should be a question that prompts the others to think beyond the facts of the reading. It is also your job to look for places where you respectfully disagree with others in your group.
