Literature Circles
“ The reading of any work of literature is, of necessity, an individual and unique occurrence involving the mind and emotions of some particular reader.”(Rosenblatt, 1938/1983)
Rosenblatt, L. (2005). Making Meaning with Texts: Selected Essays. Portsmouth, NH:Heinemann.
Literature Circle
• Habits of lifelong learners– Choose what they want to
read– Use a variety of cognitive
strategies to understand what is read
– Often use notes, journals, drawings, etc. for deeper understanding
– Often seek out other readers to talk with

Literature Circles• Students choose reading material• Grouping is by reading selection• Groups read & meet on a regular
schedule that they create• Individual group members record
notes, thoughts, ideas & questions that guide reading and discussion
• Discussion questions come from the personal connections of the group members
