Students are divided into small, temporary groups called literature circles based on the book they choose to read. The groups meet twice a week to discuss their books, taking turns speaking clearly and respectfully while others listen without interruption. Members prepare by reading assigned portions, writing notes on discussion questions and parts they want to discuss, and keeping track of their reading progress.

MRA2014 Facilitating Choice Within Curriculum Constraints Presentation
This document discusses methods for incorporating student choice in reading within the English Language Arts classroom. It begins by outlining the benefits of choice reading, including improved reading skills, increased engagement and motivation. It then examines how the Common Core State Standards support student choice in reading material. Various methods for facilitating choice are presented, including allowing students to choose from text sets aligned with themes or genres, individual novel selection, and replacing whole-class novels with options like read-alouds. Student feedback indicates that choice reading leads to increased reading enjoyment and motivation. Specific examples of implementing choice units that pair young adult novels with classics are also shared.
Different parts of a book
The document outlines a detailed lesson plan for a Grade 7 class on identifying and describing the different parts of a book. The objectives are for students to be able to identify, describe, point out, actively discuss, and create a booklet for the different parts of a book. The lesson proper involves teacher-led discussion and student participation to define and understand each part of a book, including the title page, copyright page, dedication, acknowledgement, preface, table of contents, text, glossary, index, and bibliography. Students are then assigned to create their own booklet following the book format.
