Literature Circles

Students read 4 class novels throughout the year, practicing strong annotation skills and argument- based reasoning.  

 

They engage in deep, text-based discussions on their class novels.  These small groups of 4-5 students prepare their thoughts/analysis on guiding questions and provide text evidence/quotations to support their ideas.
