Literature Study Circles in a Multicultural Classroom

Literature Study Circles in a Multicultural Classroom 9781571100184
Even in an era when literature-based reading instruction is becoming more popular, turning children on to books does not appear to be happening. Katharine and Gail show how they changed this trend in Gails fifth/sixth grade classroom. Gails students are considered at-risk because they are nonnative English speakers and/or come from low-income homes. And like many inner-city teachers in similar situations, Gail realized her language arts program was not working. As bored and discouraged as her students, she explored alternatives to traditional methods and began to use literature study circles (LSCs) to engage students, and help them develop their abilities to think and talk about issues in their lives. A thoroughly practical book, Literature Study CirclesHelps teachers move from curriculum-centered to learner-centered teaching. Provides sample documents used in LSCs and examples of students written responses to books. Includes bibliographies of popular fifth/sixth grade literature; lists of African American, Asian American, Native American, and Latino authors; and professional readings on LSCs. Literature Study Circles will appeal to all teachers who want to implement a literature-based curriculum. As a text for preservice teachers, the book will be applicable in language arts and reading courses.
