Your task

• We will read a text as a group and everyone will be assigned roles: summariser, predictor, questioner, clarifier. 
• At the end of each paragraph you will contribute according to your role.
• As we go through next few slides on roles, pick your role and I will give you a card to help you with the role.

Summariser

• Identifies the main points
• Writes 1 or 2 sentences to capture what you have read
• Thinks like the writer and tries to work out what they wanted us to know in that section

Questioner

• What questions come into your head about what you are reading?
• Asks questions that will help the group understand what they are reading
• Thinks of surface questions - Who? What? Where?
• Thinks of deeper questions - Why? How? Could? Should? Would?

Clarifier

• Clarifies when they think there is something people might not understand
• Is there a word people might not know?
• Is something confusing?
• Is there a sentence that doesn't make sense?

Predictor

• What might happen next?
• How do you know this?
• Is there any evidence about this prediction from what you have read so far? 

Activity 

• Now we will read sections from the text
• Each person will contribute to the open questions according to their roles.
