Literary Luminary:  Your job is to locate a few special sections of the text that your group would like to hear read aloud.  The idea is to help people remember some interesting, powerful, funny, puzzling, or important sections of the text.  You decide which passages or paragraphs are worth hearing, and then jot plans for how they should be shared.  You can read passages aloud yourself, ask someone else to read them, or have people read them silently and then discuss.

Possible reasons for picking a passage to be shared:

Important                              Informative

Surprising                            Controversial

Funny                                     Well Written

Confusing                             Thought-Provoking
