What did you like best about
participating in Literature Circles?
Being involved with a group and communicating
with others.
I got to understand more what I was reading, and
being able to express our feelings with others
makes you open up your mind to what we read.
I liked the fact that we were able to actually
discuss the novel rather then take a test on it. I
just found it to be a much easier and fun way of
reading.

What did you like best about
participating in Literature Circles?
I personally like this better than taking tests
because while taking tests it becomes overly
stressful, and you just don't learn anything.
With literature circles you actually have fun
while learning
It helps me discuss about the books and what Idon't understand sometimes my group
explains it to me

What did you like best about
participating in Literature Circles?
I really enjoyed how it made reading more
interactive, and not so textbook boring.In my opinion, the role sheets make people
more involved with the book and understand it
more!
I like that we broke it down week by week.
I liked discussing my interpretation of thenovel with my class mates and hearing their
point of views on it.

What did you like best about
participating in Literature Circles?
I enjoyed it because it felt good that I wasn't
doing all the work for once. Also, seeing my fellowclassmates sharing their ideas about the book
and its events.
What I liked best about participating in literaturecircles is the fact that I get to listen to others
point of view of the story. Being able to putothers opinions and how they picture the storycompared to your own is impressive and makesthe story more interesting.

What would you change or improve
about Literature Circles?
Most Common Response: Nothing.
If everyone in the group has read they can stay inthe group for the day, if they chose not to readthey have to take a test right then while everyoneelse is doing literature circles.
Probably the only thing I would change would be,the question on the back. I like how you asked us
to make a connection with the reading, butsometimes I felt it was repetitive, and I got a littlelazy with my responces. So maybe just switch upthe back question every now and then.
