Literature Circles: Art Connection or World Connection

We've found that posting the Art Connection or World Connection can be "tricky" on our Wiki Space.  Therefore, you may post your work HERE!  Be sure to label your entires and include your name.  Thank you.

Wiki Space for Literature Circles

Hello,


Ms. Tezuka and I decided to create a new space for your Literature Circle activities and responses.  I've been checking on our blog and on our facebook account for responses, however, there are several people who have not responded thus far.  This new space and format should be beneficial for your groups.  Please feel free to make suggestions  and we'll work through the formatting process together.  Good luck! And thank you to everyone who has posted.  I've enjoyed reading your posts.

Here's a link to the wiki:

http://english10advancedlitcircles.wikispaces.com/


You will need to go to your book page, click on discussion and start
posting under the role that you've been assigned or agreed upon  in your group.

Three Key Points or Findings

After you've read your assigned text for the literature circles for 25 minutes, please discuss three key points or findings from the reading that you found to be interesting, disturbing, confusing, and/or thought provoking.  Include why you felt this way about the reading. You do not have to post here; you may also use your writer's notebook or facebook.  Thank you. 

Literature Circles

Feel free to post comments and ask questions about the book that you are reading for your literature circle HERE!   You may also choose to post on our facebook account.  However, you should decide as a group where you will post more often, on facebook or our blog.   Good luck and read, read, read!
