The roles that are most important in a text-based discussion are:
-Summarizing the text that the group has read
-Sharing an idea, claim, or theory about the story
-Asking other participants questions about what they feel
Reading the text aloud to the group may be helpful in some cases, but it is not essential. Pointing out when
others are wrong if there is disagreement can be counterproductive to a constructive discussion, and may discourage participation.
