Hi, all,
My district is eliminating my position next year, and I'm looking for
something to do!
This year, I have created lit circles for teachers to use in grades
3, 4 and 5.
They focus on a specific genre, 2-3 literary elements, and
incorporate the reading strategies. Each lit circle has 1-2 anchor
texts to model and/or introduce the strategies and responses for
students, focused prompts for students to respond to and use for
discussions, some have vocabulary and some have final assessments.
all have text suggestions for a variety of reading levels so teachers
can differentiate.
Titles
3 What a Character, realistic fiction with characterization, connections
Blast to the Past, historical fiction/fantasy, with determine
importance
4 Westward Ho!, historical fiction integrates with westward
expansion, determine importance
We Get Letters!, novels written in letters or based on letters,
point of view integrated with communication and how it has changed
and it's purpose
5 Friends, realistic fiction based on charactes who didn't quite fit
in, social emotional learning, and how to deal with fitting in
Orphans, double plot, connections
It's a Mystery
My questions:
Do you think teachers would be interested in purchasing material like
this?
do you have any suggestions on how I could publish something like this?
I apologize for being off topic, but thought you would be the experts
on giving me advice.
Respond to my home e mail at

Thanks, so much.
Carol
