“120 Seconds Prep, 1/12″

1. Find a passage in your book that you think would be good for the 120 Seconds, and would take about a minute to read out loud. It will be shorter than you think:

EXAMPLE: The Outsiders, p4-5: “I knew it wasn’t any use though…” to “… gonna cut that long greasy hair off.”

2. In your group, take turns quietly reading the passage to your group. Have somebody watch the clock, and quietly tap the desk when the reader reaches the 1 minute mark. The reader should try to end soon, but doesn’t have to stop immediately.

3. The rest of the group asks questions about the passage. As the reader answers these questions, she should write down notes. These are the things that should be addressed in the intro.

4. Rotate to the right.
