Defining Literature Circles
1. Students choose their own reading materials
2. Small temporary groups are formed, based upon book choice
3. Different groups read different books
4. Groups meet on a regular, predictable schedule to discuss their reading
5. Kids use written or drawn notes to guide both their reading and discussion
6. Discussion topics come from the students
7. Group meetings aim to be open, natural conversations about books, so personal connections, digressions, and open-ended questions are welcome
8. In newly-forming groups, students may play a rotating assortment of task roles
9. The teacher serves as a facilitator, not a group member or instructor
10. Evaluation is by teacher observation and student self-evaluation
11. A spirit of playfulness and fun pervades the room.
12. When books are finished, readers share with their classmates, and then new groups form around new reading choices.

Visit theTechKnow Park page and do consider Kaleidoscope's TechKnow Park a teaching and learning framework that you can adjust to fit the unique nature of your 5th or 6th grade classroom and/or lab environment. This is not a large collection of lesson plans. Instead, "classroom-ready" material is laid out in 36 weeks of links and content --already matched to what you teach! They are ready to be used by your students and by you today! No preparation required. Visit the TechKnowPark with your students! Or use some of the modules such as the "Water Cycle" on it's own merit. Well worth many visits with your class.

Piggyback songs provide a way to generate content-rich text for emergent readers and writers. Make up songs using a familiar tune like "Itsy, Bitsy Spider," "Jingle Bells," or "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" to create texts that your students can use to learn about content while they become better readers and writers.
