As part of
our Literature Circles Novel Studies we had 5 groups reading 5
different books: "Detectives in Togas" by By Henry Winterfeld,
"Earth Giant" by: Melvin Burgess, "Saddlebottom" by:Dick
King-Smith, "Sword of Egypt" by: Bert Williams, and "Holes" by:
Louis Sachar.
Students met
on a weekly basis to present the weeks reading of chapters using
a rotating set of jobs: Summarizer, Questioner, Passage Picker,
Vocabulary Enricher, and Artful Artist. At the end of our 5
weeks of Literature Circles meetings we are putting together
group "Book Presentation".
This
presentation will include a number of student selected
activities. We have chosen to send out "Best Work" to this site.
