Literacy Circles

This Blog has been setup to facilitate discussions on the book you are reading in your Literacy Circle. Each student must make their initial post by Wednesday, and write a comment on 2 other student's posts by Thursday. The group face-to-face discussion will be held Friday afternoon and will be based around the posts made on this blog.

Books to Choose From at Colorow

Here are some titles that I believe would be a good fit for your group (plus you won't have to worry about going to the library or finding other copies):

Elephant Run, by Roland Smith

The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster

Pictures of Hollis Woods, by Patricia Reilley Giff

A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle

Book Selection

We need to select a book that you can read as a group for your literacy circle.  Because we have limited book copies, I can suggest a few titles that we have here at Colorow that I think would work well.  If you you decide to choose a book that we do not have multiple copies of at Colorow, you will each need to be able to quickly find it in the library, or purchase it on your own.  As a group, discuss what you would like to do.
