Once students fully understood that a Literature Circle is where people get together and discuss books, we came up with a list of requirements for a high functioning Lit Circle.
These great ideas will be turned into a rubric for future use when working through Lit Circle exercises.
Students practiced this exercise using their homework from last night. Students, in groups of about 3-4 students read a quotation and connection together and then discussed further meanings and connections. Students then got together in one big group and shared their connections.
HOMEWORK: Students must read through the short story "Nian" and answer the questions on the back. Students should then find one quotation from the story and make a connection, either text to self, text, or outside world.
