We are now reading Superfudge as our book where we learn the procedures and
etiquette of book club discussions. Last year we began specifically
teaching the "art of discussion." It was/is a lot of work in the beginning,
but once we got to our second book they were flying with it. We teach them
how to and what you might say to begin a discussion, change the subject,
agree or disagree with a peer, etc..

Subject: [MOSAIC] Literature Circles
I am wanting to let my 3rd graders conduct their own literature circles. I
have tried this in past years, but it doesn't ever seem to take. I teach
the expectations and model, model, model. Any suggestions?
