Lit Circles

During Grade 5 Language Arts, the class complete an activity known as Literature Circles. We divide the class up into groups and they have different novels to read in their group. They then complete a variety of tasks related to the novel under the heading of artistic adventurer, literary luminary, discussion director and word wizard. This group discussion and selection of activities helps stimulate the students learning,understanding and appreciation of the novel.
