Some of you may be surprized, but today is actually the first time I learned about Literature Circles! Previously I heard this concept but had no idea what it is and how amazing it is! I would like to thank Assem Izmukhanova, my groupmate, for her inspirational presentation this evening during our Genious Hour. You can read more about it her blog Ms. Assem's Classroom.
In the following video you will see how to introduce Literature Circles to kids, but I think it would be somehow similar for students at university.
