=April 20= Today we chose the novels for literature circles. Each Friday, students will meet according to what novel they are reading. Each student will have a specific role or responsibility to come to the meeting prepared for. The roles are listed below and each one will link you to the site where you may get a copy if you need it:

[|Summarizer*] [|Character Watcher*] [|Passage Finder*] [|Connector*] [|Story Tracker]
