During literature circles students will be reading for approximately 35 min. of class time. The last 15 min. of class students will have an oppurtunity to discuss what they read in a small group. Some of those discussion will involve an assignment. A few questions that you could pose with your students about the book they are reading are:
*What character traits does the main character possess? ie. humble, confident, shy, cocky, friendly
*What do you like or dislike about your character so far?
*What has recently happened to the main character in the book?
*Predict what the future will hold for your character?
Thank you all for your continued support this year!
