2. Based on your reading, select one quote, the page number and write a half page folded response to that quote.
3. Then, be sure to complete the Role Sheet for your role in your group. If you do not have a printer, you may copy down your job on your own sheet of paper.  The Role Sheets are found under Classroom Readings and Handouts at Litexplorations
