Participate in a small-group text discussion using assigned roles, each contributing a different lens to the same chapter.
A literature circle works because each participant reads the same pages with a different job in mind, so the group discussion draws on several distinct lenses instead of everyone making the same general comments. Four roles cover most of what a rich discussion needs: a Discussion Leader who prepares open-ended questions, a Passage Picker who chooses one passage worth reading aloud and discussing, a Word Collector who finds interesting or unfamiliar vocabulary, and a Connector who links the reading to something else -- another book, a real event, or personal experience.
The roles rotate each session, so over several weeks everyone practices every lens. A group where everyone just says "I liked it" produces a short, thin discussion; a group where four different roles each bring something specific produces a genuinely full one.
Mastery looks like: They can prepare and contribute a specific role's material to a text discussion, and explain how a role other than their own added something they would have missed.
Common stumbles: Preparing a vague, general comment instead of the specific material their assigned role actually calls for (a real question, passage, word, or connection).
