Description
Using this program in your classroom on a regular basis will ensure your students receive routine practice with reading literature, and vocabulary acquisition & use standards.
Literature circles are a wonderful way to exercise student reading comprehension skills, writing skills, and speaking skills while reading a novel as a whole class. Literature circles also boost confidence, creativity and collaboration among students when implemented effectively.
When implementing this resource, high engagement is maintained as students are expected to complete a different job each day of the week and have the option to complete enrichment projects if they produce a high-quality product before share out time. Every day, students have the opportunity to share and display their hard work and deep thinking as they attempt to challenge their classmates during share out time.
Differentiation is a breeze with this system as all jobs and enrichment projects lead students to demonstrate their unique skills and knowledge. Although this program is designed specifically for third and fourth grade classes, it can certainly be used in second (end of year) and fifth grade classes as well.
