= Informed Collaboration: Negotiating and Creating Meaning Informed by Reading the Novel =

==Reconvene in your small group and share the main points of your revised freewrites quickly -- your definition of the theme and any particularly important reference points and associations. Consider also how the reading of the novel has informed and/or added to your understanding of the themeThen, create a revised collaborative definition that is informed by your reading and understanding of the novel -- it should be a definition that you can all agree upon. Aim for 3-5 minutes of discussion and a 1/2 page to page.==

==You will need to choose an archivist to write down or type your //revised// collaborative extended definition. Be sure to include your group members' names along with your extended definition and note who the archivist is! Everyone should contribute ideas to the //revised// collaborative, extended definition. Be sure to save your definition as a Word file or leave it in your group folder at the end of the period.==
