Each week I will post several questions for your literature circle book. Please choose ONE question to answer for that week. Post your answer on the DISCUSSION page by clicking on the tab above. Write a response of 10 - 12 sentences in a structured short paragraph with a topic sentence and supporting details. Be sure to state the question that you are answering in the subject bar. Please edit for coherence and grammar before you save your work. The deadlines will be announced in class and posted on Edline.
