Lit Circles

Your job must be 100% completed before the Lit Circle begins. Not bringing your job or working on the job during the discussion will result in no credit.

Note: YOU MUST BRING YOUR BOOK TO THE LIT CIRCLE IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN AND RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR THE DISCUSSION.           

Here's how they go together: 

Group of 4*:

Discussion Director 

Literary Luminary/Illustrator 

Summarizer/Connector 

Author Analyzer/Word Wizard 

Group of 3*: 

Discussion Director

Literary Luminary/Author Analyzer

Summarizer/Connector 

*Please Note it is EXTREMELY important that you contribute to the group by doing your work, otherwise components are MISSING from your group's discussion. Not completing your work will result in a zero.  You are NOT able to redo or make up these assignments for credit.  

Before each Lit Circle, you need to have:

 A) Your COMPLETED job sheet.

 B) Be sure to use quotes and page numbers to support your ideas.

C) Don't forget to take NOTES on the reading section. You will need to show those before the Lit Circle and will use them to aide your discussion.

If you do not bring your assignment to the lit circle, you will receive a zero.  Remember, these assignments must be completed in order to participate in the group discussion and cannot be made up for credit.

REMEMBER, YOU MUST BRING YOUR BOOK TO THE DISCUSSION IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN AND RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR THE SEMINAR.
