My Project

The students in my advanced Language Arts class need additional materials to challenge them. I want to implement literature circles into my class to encourage reading stamina as well as enhance deeper thinking skills and interpersonal communication skills.

Students will read independently and then discuss what they have read in their small literature circle groups.

Not only will this help with reading skills, but it will also help these students with their communication skills. My goal is to prepare them for sustained reading in high school and beyond. Thank you for helping to make this project a reality.
