An Example of Reading Circles in Action!

Today was our first official day of the entire class holding their own Reading Circle discussions.  I had two groups volunteer to have their discussions recorded and posted on Edmodo for their classmates to listen and respond to.  Each student was required to make five annotations while we listened to Salmon Summer and then they would share three of their annotations during the discussion.  I sat in with this particular group during their discussion and really thought they did a fabulous job!  I was very proud of the quality of discussion that was held, especially since it was their very first discussion.  Tomorrow I will be playing the discussion to the class and we will make a list of things this group did well during their discussion so we can add to our anchor chart of Reading Circle expectations.
