21. Literature Circles Adapted from Getting Started with Literature Circles, Noe and Johnson, Christopher-Gordon Publishers, Inc. 1999.

22. Not your parents’ “group work” Perils of Group Work Profits of Group Work • Dysfunction happens however the group is selected • One person does it all • No one does it at all (no leader) • Off-task • Inaccurate or not thorough • Someone is absent when the group presents • Peer review • Groups are often more creative than individuals • More ideas are considered • Students enjoy working together • The classroom becomes more welcoming • A product may be produced • Teacher can circulate • Peer review

23. It’s more fun if you are not by yourself. Sometimes all you need is a pair.

24. Literary Graveyard Activity Objectives: Students will learn the word epitaph. Students will write four lines of iambic pentameter.

25. Circles and Pairs The Pairs—each pair of students collaborates to create the epitaph The Circle—students discuss the works they have read so far picking out characters who have died by the end of the story, reviewing plot and causes of the deaths. (4 rhyming lines of iambic pentameter) for two characters

26. Epitaphs from Seniors • The good… • And the not so good… Marmeladov (Crime and Punishment) He was a great and wonderful father But he was a drunkard and a bother Then one day he sadly got killed by a horse May his life now be on the rightful course. Pawnbroker (Crime and Punishment) There was a woman, her name Alena She was real evil and made it raina So Roskolnikov killed her with an ax He stole her stuff and buried it in sacks.

27. And perhaps the best…Grendel At the hands of a warrior, he fell. Plunging into the deep, dark depths of hell. A beast misunderstood by everyone Created by evil and now he’s done.

28. Pre-reading Activities for Oedipus Rex Circles— read and discuss a mythological story based on House of Atreus (good examples: Niobe, Iphigenia, Helen of Troy, death of Agamemnon) Pairs—put your story in a text message Groups--present the story to the class as a play or pantomime Continuing the circle—examples from students’ own reading (Harry Potter springs to mind)

29. The Story of Niobe @ the party 4 Leto Niobe gt jealous & strtd brgging abt her 14 kids & Apollo & Artemis kill her kids & she turns 2 stone

30. The Story of Iphigenia Agamemnon po’d Artemis so she took his wind unless he killed his girl but Artemis puts a deer N her stead

31. My Favorite Multi-Purpose Activity of the Year • Homework: ask students to find the sources (cited in MLA format) and meanings of 7 allusions in the song “Love, Love, Love” by the Mountain Goats • Small groups or pairs: answer the questions on the open note quiz • Homework: check out allusions in modern commercials and bring your chart to class

32. The Senior Thesis • The academic literature circle to gladden your heart. • Organized by book, topic, or need help with finding criticisms, or refining thesis statement.

37. The novel a midsummer night’s dream by Shakespeare, is a comedy about four lovers got mix up by love In MDSN Lysander quote The course of true love never did run smooth is based on real life situation. There are many ways such as: confusing, hurt, and happiness. Things people that love go through. Lysander quote also applies to Midsummer night because even though it has a happy ending and deals with magical things, they still went through things to get what they wanted. With that being said Lysander quote applies to MDSN, because of the real life situation. Daniel: 8th grade sample

38. Elizabeth from Frankenstein and Addie from As I Lay Dying in my perspective are alike. They have similar feelings about their family. Elizabeth loves Victor and she was about to marry him before she was sadly murdered by the monster. Addie loves her family and she wants to live but unfortunately it was too late for her to go back and tell them how much she loves them. Elizabeth also was treated unfairly by Victor Frankenstein. She was not getting the attention as she should have been getting as an Engaged girlfriend. Victor was more focus on the monster. It seems as if he didn’t like Elizabeth, but he loves the monster more. Daniel: 10th grade sample

40. The Great Depression began in 1929 and lasted until 1942. The years between dragged on like a child drags his foot when discovers a sticky clump of gum at the bottom of his shoe. In the novella Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck expresses these hardships through his characters. Hating someone and then losing him or her is a different form of feeling lost without a companion. Throughout the novella, Candy and Crooks have the constant desire for a companion, and are extremely jealous of George and Lennie, who always have each other’s back. When times are tough you do not need excess money or fancy cars, you simply need a good buddy or companion. Kelsey: 8th grade sample

41. When a girl goes out on a date with a guy, her dad always acts really protective, and sometimes takes out the old hunting gun and begins to clean it just as the guy is about to ring the door bell. This act of saying, “Don’t mess with my daughter or else” is displayed in A Midsummer Night’s Dream but instead of taking out the old hunting gun Hermia’s father insists that she marry Demetrius instead of her true love Lysander or he will truly kill Hermia. A father’s over-protectiveness gets in the way of love like a deer in the way of a car, for the father steps out and directs the daughter to who she shall love thus stopping the daughter, but shortly following it results in a big crash. The result of this struggle for control is a long road that is never easy for the daughter for the wrath of a controlling father is not a pretty sight. Kelsey: 10th grade sample
