ENGLISH 8

Biography lit circle share. Using your panel discussion questions (in your English folder) conduct a conversation about your subject, with your group, taking turns. You may look over your panel discussion questions, but may not read them. You have to put them away as you are speaking, so that you are just talking about the subject you really should be an expert on by now.

Handout to fill out for each member in your circle. 

TO FINISH -- Evaluate each person in your group, using the form. Then, on that same form, answer question # 10 -- the important lessons you learned about the subject you heard about. Must do for each member of the group and hand in, making clear who the presenter was, who their subject was, and who you are as evaluator!

HW: Friday, Second quarter ends. Unused late slips due.
