This is one of the only sources that I found that focus on teaching
discussion

Do you have lit circle guidelines that you would be willing to share? Also,
is there a website other than edhelper where you can get comprehension
questions for books? I am doing a book club in fifth grade and one of the
groups is reading Boy at War. I can't seem to find anything to help lead
discussion, I would appreciate any resources you would be able to share.

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..

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?
