Literature

Circles

Meetings

The students begin the cycle with a book selection through a drawing based on favorites.  The groups are placed, and the students arrange their homework duties and read pages for the entire book.  Students meet daily to discuss what they read from their written job perspectives.  No one outside the circle, especially adults, can participate in the conversations.
