Creating New Signposts For Lit Circles (e.g. When Something Happens In Your Book That Is Not Covered By A Signpost, You Make A New One) By: Addy

This responsibility is quite simple. All you do is notice something in your book that is not a signpost and ask your teacher to add it to the list of signposts! You need to come up with a question to ask when you make a new signpost. For example, when your character is having competing emotions, and there is no signpost for it, then you create one and share to the class what is is, how you ask it, and an example from your book of the signpost. You should talk sort of loud when you announce this so all of your peers will be able to hear you. You should try to do this because it makes your classroom more student-led and will make you feel more confident in yourself.
          If this job did not happen, then when we run out of the original signposts, we won't be able to make more videos! It also won't help encourage peers to be creative and look for things in their books. Once you do a signpost, I have noticed that others have started to do it more, so it inspires creativity. It would also make more work for your teacher to come up with a new way to do videos! This also will make you proud that you actually made your very own signpost!
