WHO AM I?
Why am I special?
What makes me unique?
How do my friends influence who I am?
Why is it important to be myself?


                                Our class decided this is how we would
                                like our Literature Circles

                                             
Look Like:
                                              Eyes on text
                                                  Stay in one spot
                                                     People reading
                                                    People writing
                                                     People sharing
                                                  People listening
                                                    Eyes on speaker
                                                 Stay on task
                                                Keep to self
                                                     No finger slapping/flipping
                                                 No goofing off

Sounds Like:
Quiet/ 3inch voices
Listening; one person talking at a time
Not making noise with body or things
Coaching each other/ asking questions
Helping
Choral reading
Nice tone of voice
Nice words � please thank you your welcome
What do you have to share?
