In 4.1-9: Commemorative stones.
In verse 1: Verse 11 repeats words from this verse and 3.17 to indicate that vv. 2-10 happened while the crossing was still going on.
In verse 3: The stones are temporarily deposited in the camp, but will be set up permanently at Gilgal (v. 20).
In verses 6-7: The stones memorialize the crossing for future generations (compare Deut 6.20-25).
This answer high-lights the role of the ark and the water was cut off (in contrast to vv. 22-24).
In verse 9: What was apparently a second group of stones is installed in the river itself.
