Lit Circle

Have you ever tried any of the Literature Circle worksheets (summarizer, connector, wordfinder,etc.) You can do this in groups as a Lit Circle or just as a class assignment.We've also read a novel and just discussed the | chapters, vocabulary, etc. Then their assignment was to come up with a project of their own. Some do as little as possible. One of my students made a log cabin for Sign of the Beaver and then he made a sawmill (he had logs(twigs) lumber (popsicle sticks) sawdust, etc.) for Luke Baldwin's Vow. Some have rewritten the ending, made a poster, drawn a picture, made a word search. Some | |
other suggestions are poetry, movie poster, summary. This is hard for some kids as they don't know what to do, although some do.Other alternative assignments might be do to a Reader's Theatre project in groups, writing class summaries for each chapter (or in pairs or groups), or dramatization of a scene. Have fun!
