What's the Next Big Thing with Literature Circles?
Daniels, Harvey
Voices from the Middle, v13 n4 p10-15 May 2006
Long an advocate of literature circles, Daniels recaps the history of literature circles and cautions against the "terminology drift" that labels practices as literature circles when, in fact, they are not. He offers resources that anchor best practice in this area, and discusses how the concept is evolving and expanding. He also introduces us to "the next big thing" in student-led discussion: written conversation.
