Literature Circles

All the year seven classes completed the Literature Circles program in Term 1 as part of the wider reading program at Gippsland Grammar.

Students were broken up in groups and chose a novel they would read, discuss and do activities on. A wide range of books were chosen- The Heaven Shop by Deborah Ellis, Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne, Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, Find me a River by Bronwyn Blake to name a few. Students discussed connections between the books and their own lives and world events, created mindmaps and quizzes, discussed new vocabulary, and generally just enjoyed the concept of reading and discussing a shared book!

Students were very creative in their approach to their activities each week.
