As well use our reading textbooks, I plan for our class to participate in about eight Literature Circles this year. Our Literature Circles will be used to get the students excited about reading with the help from their classmates, this is NOT a major grade. So you know what to expect here are some circle guidelines:
For each circle the class will be divided into teams of 6 students and each team will read a different book. (The teams will change for every circle.)
The team will read a book together over 2-3 weeks, they will be given “circle time” during reading every day.
The circles will end with a team presentation. The presentation will be something the students put together during their circle time that will give the other students in the class an overview of their book.
