What a great and well-researched resource! I have been primarily a 5th grade writing teacher this year and after our writing SOL passed my team asked me to step in to help with reading. Lit Circle seemed the way to go and this resource lays it out very well for me, thanks!

I've wanted to implement literatre circles for the past 2 years, but wasn't quite sure how. Thank you so much for being willing to share the actual lesson plans for beginning. I am going to start immediately! I would love to have plans even more detailed by adding a book to begin with and specific questions for each role. I teach fourth grade, and I think I'll begin modeling with Bud, Not Buddy.

Fantastic! My seventh graders will be reading any four books, and I can easily adjust this lesson to make lit. circles work in my class. Thanks.

Great resource and a great way to use literature circle during reading! I cant wait to try it with my students. I like it better than the current literature circle method that I'm using now!!! Thanks!!!

This is a great resource! I have shared it with my pre-service teachers. I teach book club every semester in my elementary literacy methods course.

Thanks for the great resource. I'm changing the way we read in my class and this will really help.

I am modifying the plan some to use with my 5th grade resource students. I think it will be good for them when we get it all worked out. There is a lot of modeling involved. Sometimes I give them sentence starters. It is also helping them listen to each other about something that is not an entirely social relationship. I want them to learn to read for enjoyment and I think this process may help them reach this goal.
