As a classroom teacher, I used to enjoy doing Literature Circles because each student had a role to prepare for, and a responsibility to someone besides me to read their section. Not everyone read all of their passages, nor did they always come prepared, but MORE of the students came prepared MORE often.
Fast forward a few years when all of the buzz in ELA classrooms became about The Big Six comprehension strategies. All teachers were in-serviced on the finer points of Connecting, Visualizing, Determining Importance, Questioning, Synthesizing and Inferring.
I decided to re-vamp the traditional role sheets to fit the new strategies. Click on the links below to have a look.
