As of right now, I have 35 students! I have a group of fifth grade boys who need to work on comprehension so I immediately thought of doing literature circles. I had no packets that were appropriate for them so I decided to make my own. My rules and behavior chart are in a space theme so I made the packet in a space theme as well.
I chose roles that require students to write summaries, make predictions, infer character traits, determine important ideas, and ask open-ended questions. The packet includes question starters to help students with questions and a list of character traits, two versions of the cover page, and role descriptions. I have added the packet to my Teachers Notebook store. If you want a literature circle in a different theme, please let me know and I'll do my best to make one!
Enjoy your Friday night,
Becky
PS - I'm working on a literature circle scoring rubric this weekend.
