Literature Circles

Literature Circles

Literature Circles:

         Students have been given a novel where they are responsible for reading assigned chapters each week and completing a role within their group (ex. connector, questioner, passage picker, and inferencer/profiler). They also are expected to write a short summary of their assigned chapters for every week reading. It is important that students complete their readings and their role on a weekly basis to be able to participate in their literature circle with their group. Since it is a group activity students will also be assessed on their ability to work with their group members.
