- 8. Key Components of a Reading Workshop/Independent Reading • Time: Students need time to read and look through books. • Choice: Students need the opportunity to choose reading material for themselves. • Response: Students should respond in natural ways to the books they are reading through conferences, written entries, classroom discussions and projects.
- 9. Key Components of a Reading Workshop/Independent Reading • Community: Students are part of a classroom reading community in which all members can make meaningful contributions to the learning of the group. • Structure: The workshop rests on a structure of routines and procedures that supports students and teachers. • Source: Atwell, 1998.
- 10. Literature Circles • According to Harvey Daniels, author of the book Literature Circles: Voice and Choice in the Student-Centered Classroom (Stenhouse Publishers, 1994), literature circles are small, temporary discussion groups of students who have chosen to read the same work of literature. Each member agrees to take specific responsibilities during discussion sessions. The circles meet regularly, and the discussion roles change at each meeting. When the circle finishes a book, the members decide on a way to showcase their literary work for the rest of the class. • Daniels points out that community book-discussion groups, which have become popular across the United States, follow the same format. He adds, however, "the formalized, in- school version of this activity is barely a decade old."
