I have used literature circles for 5 years with both 4th graders and 6th graders. It is by far an excellent way to encourage reflection and discussion among all kinds of kids.A great resource...especially if you are just starting ...is Laura Candler's website. http://www.lauracandler.com Scroll down to literary lessons and then to literature circles. I LOVE teaching using literature circles. it is the highpoint of my day. Student choice is critical for success. Good books are also essential.
