Literature Circles

Beginning this week, we will be starting Literature Circles. The students were placed into groups according to the books they were interested in reading. The assignments for this project will either be done in school or at home based on what the student decides.

Each week, the groups will be assigned chapter(s) to read. Then complete a writing component in their reading journal. For the first week, students will be required to create a title page for their story in their reading book and write five facts (or events) from the assigned chapter(s). In the front of their reading books, there is a example of how their work should be laid out on their page. There will be a second writing component introduced in the second week. Check back next Tuesday for more information.

Students in the following groups will be meeting on:

Clementine - Tuesday
The Lemonade Wars - Wednesday
Stink-The Incredible Shrinking Kid - Thursday
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane - Friday
