Talk:Lit Circle Strategies/@comment-28518194-20160524052825

I do not have personal experience with literature circles. When I was in school, everyone either read the same book. If we read a book for class that was different from what others were reading, it was usually for a book report. Even in my subbing experience, I still see this same trend where everyone reads the same book. The closest I have come to literature circles is when I sub in a resource class and the students break off into groups with their aides to read books at their own reading level and then the aides discuss the plot and setting with the students. The students never come together to discuss what they are reading with other members of the class. From what I learned so far, I find literature circles to be a fresh way to get students more involved in their learning.
