Literature e-Circles
Literature e-Circles
Description:
Students in different middle schools read the novel Holes, by Louis Sachar, and meet in virtual literature circles (or e-circles) to discuss their interpretations of the novel. Comprehension questions and a modified Socratic discussion method promote deep thinking about characterization, plot, style, author intent, and personal interpretation. Students meet face-to-face to create technology-supported projects that demonstrate their understanding and appreciation of the text. An online survey marks changes in attitudes about reading and the ethical questions the novel presents.
