Literature Circles

Literature Circles are great, I use them with my 6th graders. I am fortunate enough to have multple copies of almost any book I want--I will choose 6 different books and then allow the students to sign up for whichever book| they choose. When I do this the books are usually around a certain theme that I am teaching. There are times that I allow the students to get into groups of 4 or 5 and choose the book they want to read. I have a great deal of success and use the Harvey Daniels book "Literature Circles Voice and Choice in the Student Centered Classroom." I agree that you can teach mini-lesson after | |
mini-lesson with the small groups and it is very effective because it is connected to what they are doing at the moment. I also have no problem hooking the literature circles into the standards that I am to teach and great for assessment of students. You will like doing this method. Good Luck.
