B. Context This wonderful assignment was created in my Children's Literature class. Individually, I chose two children's books that I wanted to create a literature circle unit around. I chose "Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key" and "The Skin I'm In". Surrounding these two books, I prepared the teacher plans for each section, as well as examples of the roles such as: Character Sketcher, Discussion Director, Passage Picker, Word Wizard, Summarizer, and Investigator. I then posted all of this on a webpage for easy access.
C. Impact This is one of the most extensive ways of managing various aspects of your classroom. Through literature circles, a teacher may differentiate to every reading level in her classroom comfortably. The students feel comfortable in their own reading level and are able to grasp many aspects of the books they are reading. They are able to explore these books freely and expressively through the various roles in the literature cirlce.
