Literature Circles

Students will participate in Literature Circles for our novels. Each student is given a schedule for the current novel that will help them read the assigned role for the different chapters. They are responsible to read and complete their role before the "group meeting." 

 

 Text Connections 

Students should be reading and understanding what they read. When they make connections with what they are reading (text) they are connecting and understand more clearly. This can be a connection to their own life (text-to-self), another piece of text they have read (text-to-text), or something that may be going on the in word around them (text-to-world). They are encouraged to stop & think at various points of reading make connections.
