The discussions are guided by students’ responses to what they have read. Discussions may focus on events and characters in the book, personal experiences, literary analysis, or the author’s craft. Literature Circle provides a way for students to engage in critical thinking and reflection as they read, discuss, respond to books, and most of all have fun. At the end of each group we always look forward to refreshments that compliment the current book. <SPAN style="COLOR: black"><BR> <BR> Please contact Christy Rosander at </SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: red"><U><SPAN style="COLOR: blue"><A href="mailto:christyrosander@gmail.com">christyrosander@gmail.com</A></SPAN></U></SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"> for information or questions.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV> <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS';
