SUMMARY : Tell what happened in the story in your own words.  Your summary should be five to eight sentences long .
A PART YOU LIKED: In one sentence or two tell which part you liked and explain why it appealed to you.  You can choose one or more paragraphs of the story, a sentence, or even a phrase.  Write down the page number where this paragraph, sentence, or phrase appears so that you can read it to the other members of your group.
A PART YOU FOUND CONFUSING: This can be a sentence, a paragraph, or even an entire page.  If you found more than one part confusing, you should mention it as well.  Put the page number where this part appears.
QUESTIONS: You should ask at least two questions that occurred to you during or after you read the story.
INTERPRETATION: Your interpretation of the story is an explanation of what the story meant to you.  It’s your  analysis of the story.  You can talk about why you think the characters behaved the way they did or what you think the point of the story is.  You can also discuss broader issues raised  by the story.
