Lit Circles Book

This book is in great condition and it came in a timely manner. I appreciate the promptness. Thanks!

Great idea

This book is great for anyone interested in doing something a litle different in your classroom. I have used this concept for the last 8 years and my kids always enjoy learning with it. It is a bit harder to do with high school students, but I just choose novels that relate to them and that they actually enjoy reading. It makes learning a little less painful to them! I'm all about students learning when they don't even realize they are learning!
