Humanities

Today we assigned novels to students to start our Literature Circle unit. Every student had some choice in which book they wanted to read and everyone was assigned either their first or second choice based on availability of the book.

Discussions will be had each week for every novel group. Each member of the group will have a job to complete to bring to the discussion. Jobs will be handed out and assigned tomorrow. The schedule students have so far is as follows:

The Shakespeare Stealer, The Outsiders

Samurai Shortstop

Men of Stone, Of Nightingales that Weep, Under the Blood Red Sun
