2nd Quarter Literature Circles

This quarter we will be studying language arts with text and writing that centers around the theme of challenges and conflicts. We will be working on a cross-curricular literature circle that will incorporate both language arts and social studies. In language arts we will analyze literary elements within each novel and apply reading comprehension strategies to our student led literature discussions. In social studies the history of the texts will be examined and the events in the novel will be compared and contrasted with modern day events of the same nature. This should be a great learning experience for all and will allow the students to immerse themselves in understanding literature from multiple viewpoints.
