The Closure Activity will be as follows:

• After having read their Literature Circle book(s) and completed subsequent jobs for six sections of reading, the groups of students that worked together during the Launch activity will come back together. These groups will be asked to complete the L portion of the KWL charts they began at the beginning of the unit. The L in KWL stands for what has been learned after reading the Literature Circle books. Each group will be given several letters of the alphabet (number of letters depends on number of students in the class).  Each group will complete a page of an ABC book with each of their letters, describing something they have learned from the reading of their Literature Circle books.  The ABC book will be put together as a representation of what students learned about 1700s Colonial life as a result of their Literature Circle experience. Students will also participate in a "Colonial Dress-up Day" to bring closure to their Colonial study.
