Passage Picker:
The Passage Picker role is yet another area in which students can make text to self connections. The passage picker selects a passage that connects the most with them. There are many reasons a Passage Picker could choose a certain passage, and here are just a few:
* Dialogue * Use of Imagery * Plays on Emotions * Thought Provoking |
In Our Classroom:
Here is the activity sheet that students will pick up if they select this role for their literature circle!
An Example:
If this were an active role within a classroom using literature circles, I would pair this particular activity with an interactive bulletin board. Students would write their selected passage on the front of an apple, and on the back they would include the title and author. Then periodically over each week students can continue to add passages, and students can take an apple down if they wish to read the book! |
