Literature Circles

January 6th to February 3

What are literature circles?

They should have the feel of a book club. We will read and explore our books while focusing on analyzing what we have read. We will talk more about these when we return from break.

You don't have to pick now!

Today we just reviewed the books that you have to choose from. Your teacher will be reading A Wrinkle In Time on the recording, but you can choose from any of the books that we have reviewed today. If you choose one of the other books you will go into a breakout room to read for the time in class that we have to read and then rejoin us when it is time to discuss.

Teacher, I can't find the books!

Your books were sent with your curriculum kit. There should be a bag that is labeled Literature Circle books. If you can't find that bag of books please let your caretaker know right away so that they can call tech support. The books are all also available on Sora. All the books have an audiobook in Sora (except for Out Of My Mind) that you can borrow if you choose not to do A Wrinkle In Time.

We will dig deeper into this when you come back from break.

What questions do you have?

Have a wonderful break!

If you need help on overdue assignments like the lesson from yesterday, please stay so we can work on them together.
