Chp 13 Literature Circles

This chapter really ties chapters 10, 11 and 12 together. Pickett has always expressed her love for literature circles regardless of age. She also mentions to be eye to eye, sit at there level. Let them know you are part of their group and listens to their responses. Like I said this chapter goes over the points previously covered, Bringing Literature Alive, Shared and Guided Reading, Independent Reading. This is in you as instructor. Take into consideration what you have read and personalize it. We need to enjoy what we are doing and reading circles is where we display the love of what we do. Get involved and don't be shy because students will smell fear a mile away.
