literaturecircles

** Literature circles **
During the next five weeks, you will be working in literature circles, reading and discussing a book (of your choice from a list of books) with each other. This assignment will prepare you for working in this way in AP English next year, should you decide to take that course.

All roles have worksheets that need filling out each discussion day. Each role will also have to take notes on the discussion that is relevant to his or her part.
