Lit. Circles
By Jenny

Clip to ScrapBook   
I am using literature circles again this year. We just had our first round of meetings last week. The kids are really enjoying it. We are reading "Owls in the Family" by Farley Mowat. it is a fairly simple novel for all.

Other novel i have used are:
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Easy)
The Family Under the Bridge (easy)
A Cricket in Time Square (average)
Stone Fox (easy)
There's A Boy in the Girl's Bathroom (challenging)
Charlotte's Web (challenging)
The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles (challenging)
The BFG (average +)
This year I am also planning to use
Frindle
(average)
The Whipping Boy (easy)
The Trumpet of the Swan (Challenging)
Bunnicula Strikes Again (Average)

I have purchased most of my sets through Scholastic at really good prices. I dont think you have to have all the students reading the same genre but you could. It all depends on what you have available.
