• participate in conversations
• express your own ideas, feelings and opinions (written and spoken)
• use a varied language and develop an extended vocabulary

 Evaluation (bedömning):

   Your teacher will evaluate

• your written book circle tasks
• your activity during lessons
• your discussions in your book circle groups

 Homework

You must read the texts for the book circle discussion and do your tasks (see list below). You have to also have to learn the  words to each text. Those words are homework for next week. 

 Discussion leader:

Prepare six questions,  one for each of  The Six Thinking Hats. Always set the scene (summarize and say page number) before you write your question. At the group meeting, you will lead the discussion. Always address students by name and thank them when they have presented their activity. Start by always asking the summarizer to summarize today’s reading. Next it is your turn to ask your six questions to the group. 

 Summarizer:

Prepare a short summary of today’s reading. Your group discussion will start with your summary that covers the key events and highlights of today’s reading assignment. 

 Character tracer:

Choose a character and list some character traits that the person has shown in today’s reading. Give the page numbers and evidence from your reading which will support your choices. 

 Creative connector:

Find connections between the text and the world outside. Connect the readings to your own life, things you have seen, heard or experienced. Set the scene in the book you are referring to by summarizing it briefly. Then tell the others what this reminds you of. Finally, point out similarities and differences.
