Defining Literature Circles Daniels, Harvey. (2002). Literature Circles: Voice and Choice in the Student-Centered Classroom Portland, ME: Stenhouse.

Defining Literature Circles 1. Students choose their own reading materials

Defining Literature Circles 2. Small temporary groups are formed, based upon book choice

Defining Literature Circles 3. Different groups read different books

Defining Literature Circles 4. Groups meet on a regular, predictable schedule to discuss their reading

Defining Literature Circles 5. Kids use written or drawn notes to guide both their reading and discussion

Defining Literature Circles 6. Discussion topics come from the students

Defining Literature Circles 7. Group meetings aim to be open, natural conversations about books, so personal connections, digressions, and open-ended questions are welcome

Defining Literature Circles 8. In newly-forming groups, students may play a rotating assortment of task roles

Defining Literature Circles 9. The teacher serves as a facilitator, not a group member or instructor

Defining Literature Circles 10. Evaluation is by teacher observation and student self- evaluation

Defining Literature Circles 11. A spirit of playfulness and fun pervades the room

Defining Literature Circles 12. When books are finished, readers share with their classmates, and then new groups form around new reading choices
