The document outlines roles for a group discussion on a reading assignment. The Summarizer will provide a 1-2 minute summary of the key points and main ideas of the reading. The Discussion Director will develop questions for the group to discuss the big ideas in the reading. The Illuminator will point out an important passage for the group to notice, remember, or think about. The Visualizer will create a visual representation of a metaphor from the reading. The Connector will describe connections between the passage and other texts, personal experiences, or current events.
