This document outlines a reading schedule for students divided into literature circles or reading groups. It provides assignments for multiple novels and includes directions to complete a literature response sheet after each set of chapters and share responses with their group. It also includes occasional writing prompts related to the novels such as describing characters, settings, conflicts, and summarizing the end. The schedule takes place over several weeks in April and May 2007.
