Literature Circles

Use it across curriculum in small or whole groups .­ The students are engaged.  Each person gets a role: Designer (illustrates); Line Catcher (finds interesting parts or passages ­ things that stick out); Link-maker (makes connections to the world ­ text to text, text to self, text to world); Reporter (summarizes the information); Wonderer (thinks “outside the box” ­ is the what if? person).
