Good Afternoon!

Literature Circles:  you should all have a reading schedule for your group now.  Attached below are the roles that you may be responsible to complete.  We will have discussions on Tuesdays and Fridays –which means that you need to have a role completed for these discussions.  Each time your group meets, you should have completed a different role.  *It may make your life and that of your groups life easier if you all shared your documents on Office 365 so you all have access:)

*If you have decided, we can distribute books/record numbers.

*If all agreeable, we can give 20 minutes to read so you can get a feel for your novel:)

*Once you have chosen a novel, you will need to figure out a reading schedule with other members of your group:
