Lit. Circles and Packets
By Trine

Clip to ScrapBook   
I start out reading a short story with the whole class together and then a book all together to demonstrate and teach how the Lit. Circles are supposed to work. We meet twice a week in circles. The students do their reading and prepare their "jobs" as homework and are to be ready for discussion by the time the groups meet. They all meet at the same time and I float around listening, looking to see that each student is prepared and sometimes getting in on the discussion. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE BOOKS!!
My questions: What do you have in your packets? What kinds of "jobs" do you have them do? (ex: discussion director, vocabulary enricher...) Thank you,everybody.
