The Critical Thinker's Literature Circle Guide
This set of three handouts will be the ONLY sheets you will need to run to the copier for Literature Circles this year! Imagine that! I love Literature Circles! I've used them for years...they are student-led discussions that make for meaningful learning. The students are happy, I am happy, my administrators are happy...well, sort of...

Messages in a Bottle
Here is a collection of real messages that have been found around the world and a little background story on each one to help students relate to the content being taught. These could be used in a variety of ways such as in a reading class or for oceanography like I use them. I use these letters for a lesson that I have created to getting the students to map out coordinates of bottles locations to show how the currents flow. If you are looking for lessons like this please stop by my store.

Group Work Roles - Horizontal Name Tags
If your students are struggling to get along when working in groups, using group work jobs or roles can really help. These are modified from the research of Elizabeth Cohen, and include Name Tags and Descriptions for an Accountability Agent, Facilitator, Harmonizer, Materials Manager, and Time Keeper. Explicit teaching of the roles and their descriptions before beginning the group work is really helpful. Students should also rotate roles every day, so all students get to experience all roles.

Choice Book Reading Materials
Why choice books?
The best way to get students to become life-long readers is to give them a chance to discover books that they connect with and enjoy. Using these choice book materials in your classroom makes it easy to introduce the concept of choosing books to read in addition to whatever is being studied in the English/Language Arts classroom, as it can be done as much in class or out of class as you’d like. This is very flexible and is being sold in Word document format so that you can edit

2.) At the end of class, have each group member self-assess in the column provided. They can brie

Vulcan? Science's search for a mythical planet Vulcan. 2 pg literacy w questns
At the turn of the 20th century professional astronomers and amateur astronomers alike were in a frantic search for a planet Vulcan. One would recall that Spock supposedly hailed from it. Its orbit was supposed to lie somewhere between the sun and the orbit of Mercury and thus would be extremely hot. Why did we believe we would find this mythical planet? Because the orbit of Mercury had a slight wobble in it, which scientists were convinced must be caused by an undiscovered planet. It w

Peer Feedback Sheet for Lit Circles
I have tried a variety of feedback formats for Literature Circles and Book Clubs, and after various attempts, this simple sheet is what I find to be most effective. Rather than having students grade one another, I encourage them to offer 'kind and honest' feedback to their group members about how their behavior and input affected the meeting. This, I have found, is much more developmentally appropriate in terms of eliciting true feedback, as opposed to having students give one another a number g

Great Discussions
We all love those moments when students have a great discussion about something we are teaching, but sometimes students need to be taught what a good discussion looks likes and what they can do to help make a discussion great. This resource is a great one for teaching kids how to discuss. Students start with a list of great question/sentence starters for several different types of questions (all of which lead to good discussions) They write their own questions and answers about your topic.
