Again and Again

This sign post is the one that you explain something that keeps happening over and over, or again and again.  To find this in your reading you have to kind of be paying attention to past moments in your book were something, maybe important, keeps happening.  The question that you need to ask for this sign post is you need to ask why does this keep happening? And or will it impact the rest of the book?  You always want to make sure that you are asking a question during your video so that each person can answer it in a new, intelligent way.  A tip to finding this signpost in your reading is to make sure that you are thinking back to other days that you have been reading.  Does this scene feel familiar to you?  Then make a video for again and again!  While you are making your YouTube video you are going to have to explain what keeps happening again and again.  You want to do this so the person that is watching your video won't be confused.  A lot of times this video can go on for a long time, so make sure that yours is really descriptive and you describe everything.
This sign post is important in our reading because without it you wouldn't notice things that keep happening over and over again.  And if this is important to notice (things happening again and again) in the book you might miss something that keeps happening.  For example in my book last time my character kept talking about how she was going to lose her best friend, that would be an again and again because she kept mentioning it.  Another example might be if like an unknown character kept showing up that might be an again and again.  This question that this sign post forces you to ask, before the video, is has this person shown up before?  Do I recognize this name?  And questions along that route.  If you think think that something is going to happen again, like an odd character showing up, you definitely want to pay attention in case this odd character does show up again and you make an again and again video.

    Literature Circle Signposts

    In our class, students work in small groups to read novels of their choice three times each week. While reading, students have discussions about their book and record them so that others can listen in on their thoughts! These discussions get catalogued as various "Signposts" (a term from the book "Notice and Note"). We created more than 40 different signposts this year, to go along with the original six from the book. This blog hopes to explain each and every signpost that we discuss!
