What are the most common pitfalls in implementing student-led discussion groups? And getting beyond the basics, what do mature or advanced literature circles look like? In this thoroughly revised and expanded guide, you will find new strategies, structures, tools, and stories that show you how to launch and manage literature circles effectively. Advanced variations are explored and include alternatives to role sheets and flexible new guidelines for their use.

A former city and suburban teacher, Harvey Daniels now works at the Center for City Schools at National-Louis University in Chicago. Along with a team of veteran teacher-consultants, “Smokey” helps teachers, schools, and districts implement progressive literacy structures such as literature circles, reading workshop, and integrated curriculum. Smokey is the author or co-author of nine other books on language, literacy, and school reform, including Methods that Matter: Six Structures for Best Practice Classrooms (Stenhouse 1998) and Best Practice: New Standards for Teaching and Learning in America’s Schools (1998). He has also created a videotape, Looking into Literature Circles (Stenhouse 2001).
