“Mini Literature Circles” Enrichment Activity #5: Group Literary Analysis A literature circle is the student equivalent of a book club, but designed with greater structure, expectation and rigor. The purpose is to encourage thoughtful discussion and a love of reading in young people. Students will join together in groups of FOUR(no more, no less) and complete various roles and activities to share with one another. What are Literature Circles? • Literature Circles are student-centered reading groups guided primarily by student insights and questions. • Students form small, temporary groups for discussion and other activities intended to demonstrate student independence, responsibility, and ownership. • Groups meet on a regular, predictable schedule to discuss their reading. • Students use written or drawn notes to guide both their reading and discussion. • Group meetings should be open, natural conversations about the reading, so personal connections and open-ended questions are welcome. • Students will perform a variety of roles, experiencing various perspectives on a reading. • The teacher serves as a facilitator, NOT instructor. • Literature Circles ARE NOT unstructured, uncontrolled "talk time" without accountability. • Each student will perform a variety of roles within the circle. • See the attached documents for more information. Literature Circle Roles: • Questioner: This person develops a set of questions to share with the group, then records and leads discussion based on student responses. • Summarizer: This person summarizes the material read for group discussion. • Linguist: This person locates, defines, and shares various vocabulary terms they did not understand, yet found interesting or significant. • Illustrator: This person provides a creative and symbolic portrait of section(s) of the reading. These may include drawings, paintings, collages, or researched pictures. Literature Circle Requirements: • Students report to Mr. Davis with your group to receive your Literature Circle packets. • Students must complete EACH of the roles in their Literature Circle Packets over the assigned reading section. • When students have completed their work, they will meet within their groups to share their findings, graphic organizers, etc. • Once students have completed their group discussion, they will participate in a self & peer evaluation over the process.
