Getting our reading on in Room 12B

This term we are doing Literature circles. Each reading group has a novel that we read together. During the week we have to read an agreed number of chapters and complete a special task that has been assigned to each of us. There are 6 tasks or 'roles'.

1. Discussion director
2. Passage picker
3. Summariser
4. Word master
5. Connector
6. Illustrator

Once a week we get together for a meeting and discuss what we have read so far and share our tasks.

The novels are: The BFG by Roald Dahl, Holes by Louis Sachar and The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier.
