Lit Circles – Mysteries

June 9, 2009 · No Comments

4K is currently working on the last round of Literature Circles for the year. The genre is mysteries, and students are reading and discussing these wonderful books – The Mystery of the Phantom Ship by Laura E. Williams, The Mystery at Miss Abigail’s by Lois Gladys Leppard, Key to the Treasure by Peggy Parish, and The Mystery of the Haunted Playhouse by Laura E. Williams.

Students worked together to set up a reading schedule for the number of pages to read each day, depending on the number of days available. There are always 2-3 additional days added to the schedule to write book reviews for publication online.

Fourth graders are assessed on their participation in Lit Circle discussion groups, their written responses to daily reading assignments (similar to homework reading logs), and an independently written book review.
