Literature+Circle

A Literature Circle is a student-centered reading activity for a group of four to six students at any grade level or age. Each member of a circle is assigned a role which helps guide the group in a discussion of the title they are all reading. Literature Circles provide an opportunity for students to control their own learning; to share thoughts, concerns and their understanding of the events of the novel. Blogs are an excellent way to facilitate this exchange asynchrounously and they provide a record of the dialogue.
