7th grade: Today in Language Arts-Reader's Workshop

All students submitted their Reading Folders for a grade. We read Chapter 16 of The Giver together. I explained to students what literature circles were and told them my expectations of literature circles. (Classes who do well with literature circles will participate in literature circles in Term 3 with books of their own choosing). Students then broke into groups of 4 and formed a literature circle. They read Chapter 17 together and then brainstormed a list of things they would like to change in our society (this is the prep work for Monday's activity.)

Homework: Enjoy your weekend!
