Researcher

Researcher/Vocab Enricher:
Note: For groups with 4 you will complete both roles. For groups with 5 this job is split between two people.

Researcher:
Your job is to dig up some background information on any topic related to your book. This might include:
 * the geography, weather, culture, or history of the book's setting
 * information about the author, her/his life, and other works
 * information about the time period portrayed in the book

This is not a formal research report. The idea is to find some information or material that helps your group understand the book better. Investigate some thing that really interests you--something that struck you as puzzling or curious while you were reading.

Ways to gather information:
 * in introduction section of the book
 * on-line search
 * other novels, textbooks, or notes you have taken this year

Vocab Enricher:
Your job is to be on the lookout for a few especially important words--new, interesting, strange, important, puzzling, or unfamiliar words--words that members of the group need to notice and understand. On your personal page write down the word, page number & paragraph you found it, reason you noted it, and definition.h
