More Literature Circles: Cooperative Learning for Grades 3-8 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a companion book to the authors' work Literature Circles. It promotes cooperative learning for the literature-based classroom. This is a stand-alone volume, which includes detailed instructions on how to use literature circles, suggests novels and picture books to use, provides ideas to foster critical thinking and teamwork, and contains reproducibles to make classroom management and assessment easier.
Thirty-eight new novels and five new picture books are included in the guide. Titles are contemporary and allow for a wide-range of reader interests and abilities. Each title includes a brief summary, a vocabulary list, discussion starters, and other activities and projects. The titles are divided by concepts: Imagination; Discovery; Justice and Freedom; Empathy; and Courage and Survival. Essential Questions are provided for each concept to help students delve deeper into their stories. All activities focus on critical thinking, research skills and teamwork. Novel pages end with a "Design Your Own Project" section, encouraging children to develop their own ideas and projects.
This is a good resource for educators who are new to literature circles or for anyone who would like to strengthen a program already in place.
