    Dystopian Lit.

    Circle Notes
    Name: Class:

    Novel: Chapter/Page(s):

    Summarizer:
    Your job is to prepare a summary
    of the day’s reading. Don’t tell
    the whole story, just focus on the
    major event(s).

    Your summary should have


    relevant supporting details, and a
    final concluding sentence.

    Remember, the other members of


    your group will be counting on
    you to give them a concise
    summary paragraph that helps to
    unfold the story, they do not need
    an entire re-telling of the
    chapter(s).

    Discussion Director:
    Your job is to write 5
    questions based upon the
    section of the day’s reading.
    You need to facilitate a group
    discussion around these
    questions, where everyone takes
    part, so make your questions
    OPEN-ENDED. An open-ended
    question means it cannot be
    answered with one word, and is
    open to multiple correct
    responses. The best questions will
    come from your ow thoughts,
    feelings, and ideas about this
    section of the book.
    Literary Luminary:
    This task is to choose a
    “Noteworthy” section or event
    from the story to discuss with
    your group. Your purpose is to
    help other students by
    spotlighting something
    interesting, powerful,
    funny, puzzling, or
    important from the text.
    Please record the page
    number.

    Connector:
    Your job is to find FIVE
    connections between the
    events/characters from your
    reading and your world. This
    means connecting what you
    read with your life.

    These connections may include


    events which happen at school,
    in your community, things you
    have experienced in your past,
    or to other people in your life.
    You can also make connections
    between the characters/events
    in the story to another medium
    (movies, literature, art,
    theatre, T.V., music... )

    Most importantly, you must


    briefly describe the part in the
    book to which you are
    referring, and then explain
    your connection.

    Final Thoughts: How is this story Dystopian?


    For example, is there (1) A Totalitarian Regime (2) A catastrophic EVENT, (3) A Setting in the ‘not too distant future’ (4) An Insurgent,
    (5) A False Utopia, and/or (6) Technological Advances? Etc…
