06.02 - Week 4 Groundwork and Synthesis

Today, people met in groups according to the role that they have in their literature circle this week. Everyone had the period to work on their reading (books should be finished before moving on to the synthesis work), groundwork, and synthesis.

During this time, I met individually with people to review their progress and answer any questions.

All groups were reminded that they will be having their discussions on Thursday of this week. We will have discussion prep meetings tomorrow.
