Literature circles involve small groups of students gathering to discuss a piece of literature. Students guide the discussion based on their own responses and reactions to what they have read. Literature circles were first created in 1982 but gained popularity after further research established their benefits, which include promoting critical thinking, student choice, and collaboration.

2014 literary analysis of your enrichment book for summer reading
This document provides guidance for writing a literary analysis of a summer reading book. It explains that a literary analysis goes beyond just summarizing a book by giving a strong positive or negative evaluation supported by specific examples from the text. It lists key elements that should be included in an analysis, such as identifying the author and title, including a clear thesis statement about why the story was interesting and a recommendation, using specific details and evidence from the text, and having a clear introduction, body and conclusion. Students are instructed to write at least a 1.5 page double-spaced analysis that is due on August 18th.

An example rubric and successful elements of a character description are also outlined.
