CTC Roles. These roles should rotate every 2-3 days so that everyone has a chance at each role.

Discussion Director: facilitates the discussion from the previous evening’s reading; may ask members to provide summaries; use the discussion questions from the novel; keeps track of the daily log.

Techniques & Devices Examiner: locates the literary techniques and rhetorical devices (check google docs) that are particularly noteworthy of a closer investigation, especially the motifs; be sure to go beyond the obvious.

Critical Passages Examiner: locates passages that are worthy of a group discussion and offers insight to the novel or to the writer’s style.

Heroic Quest, Tragedy, Romance: locates those elements associated with these types of storytelling.
