Lit circles are in full swing. Every student received a book to read with a partner or with a group. Please remember to read and prepare for the first lit circle discussions.
The schedule:
702 will discuss, then plan and read each Monday and Thursday. First discussion is Monday, April 6.
731 will discuss, then plan and read each Tuesday and Friday. First discussion is Tuesday, April
7.
Refer to your reader's sourcebook for ways in which you can prepare for discussion. EVERY group member is responsible for coming up with one solid and detailed discussion topic. Please read carefully and critically (not just literally -- think about what you are reading).
If you or your group members have author suggestions for the second round of reading, please see Mrs. Marks or Mrs. Moreno.
Once the first round of reading is complete, each student will write a review of the book they have just finished. You can use all of your persuasive techniques to either recommend other students read (or stay away from) the title.
POETRY: Students in 702 and 731 will complete (for now) one version of the self-portrait poem Friday. On Monday, we will move on to memory poems (details to follow).
