Researcher’s Toolkit

Worksheet Description

This ‘Literature Circles worksheet’ is designed for the Researcher role, aiming to enrich the group’s understanding by providing context and background information related to the book. As a Researcher, your task is to delve into relevant aspects of the book, such as setting, author’s background, historical context, or thematic elements.

Use this worksheet to excel in your role:

1. Begin by recording the ‘Title of Book’ and the ‘Assigned Passage’ (page numbers) you’re investigating.
2. Choose a specific topic related to the book’s context that intrigues you. It could be about the setting, the author’s life, themes, or historical references.
3. Identify the ‘Source’ where you found the information, whether it’s from the book itself, research materials, the Internet, or prior knowledge.
4. Present your findings under ‘My Research,’ sharing insights and relevant details with your literature circle during discussions.

This worksheet empowers Researchers to uncover the layers of context that enhance the reading experience.
