If you're planning on doing reading or literature circles with your class, the resources included herein may be helpful to you. I do not use the Harvey Daniels-minded set of tasks that many do, though I do assess a discussion leader for each session; instead, I have students prepare very deep questions--the format is included--to inspire discussion. There is a book list in this zip--note that I used this in an Am lit class so it's all American authors--but you can select any books of your liking; there are also some short story exercises as warmups to get students used to the lit circle environment. Very adaptable material here.

I've taught English at high schools in the Chicago suburbs and currently teach as an adjunct Comp/rhetoric instructor at area community colleges. I'm also currently a curriculum and assessment consultant and have worked with ACT, NAGB, McGraw Hill, MacNeil Lehrer Productions, Scott Foresman, and more.
