Literature Circles
By: Chris and Emma
We just got done with some magnificent biographies! They were called Lewis and Clark, Davy Crockett, Helen Keller, and Sitting Bull. Davy Crockett was about a man named Davy who fought in the war and then ran for president who had got (eventually) killed. In Helen Keller, Helen learned to keep on going even if something bad happened to her.
Before we read the biographies, we read some books from these genres: realistic fiction and historical fiction. Our next literature circle genre will be mysteries.
In literature circles after we read we discuss what we read. We also get to discuss what we wrote after reading. Some groups do sticky notes. On the sticky notes we write a questions and put them on the page where we have our questions.
If you were wanting to read one of these books we would recommend these 4 books to 3rd – 6th graders. We can’t wait to go to literature circles again!
