Literature Circle Unit

Over the next three weeks, our 7th grade ELA class will be taking part in a group reading unit called Literature Circles. The goal of literature circles is to have students select a text that they will read as a group, and then undertake roles that provide for discussion points. The roles are director, literary luminary, connector, and vocabulary enricher. Students will be expected to complete role sheets that chart their progress at their specific task, and then they will write at home in their personal response journal.
