Literature Circles, or Book Club, are small groups of 3-4 students who meet to discuss a piece of literature which they have chosen. Each member of the circle is assigned a role which helps guide the discussion. Literature Circles allows students to become critical thinkers as they read, share thoughts, ask questions, and respond to reading selections. The key to successful Literature Circles is COLLABORATION.
