    This document outlines the structure and procedures for literature circles. Literature circles involve small discussion groups that read the same book. Each member is assigned different discussion roles that change for each meeting, such as discussion director, illustrator, or analyzing societal characteristics and potential reforms. The groups meet regularly to discuss the reading and share their role responsibilities. They complete self-evaluations and evaluations of the group after each meeting. Participation, role sheets, and evaluations are used for grading. Students who miss more than 30% of meetings must complete the work independently.
