**Literature Circles -**
Lit. Circles are a different way of learning in reading groups. The goal of Lit. Circles is to promote student-directed discussion about the reading. To help with this challenging, but interesting process, a series of "role-sheets" are used to help guide the students towards creating questions and comments that will promote dialogue within the group. The ultimate goals of Literatue Circles are: better comprehension, improved higher-order thinking skills, and an authentic interest in reading.
