Segment One:
Introduction
1. Students appreciate that the twenty-first-century classroom and workplace
are settings in which people from often widely divergent cultures and who
represent diverse experiences and perspectives must learn and work together.
2. Students actively seek to understand other perspectives and cultures
through reading and listening, and they are able to communicate effectively
with people of varied backgrounds.
3. They evaluate other points of view critically and constructively.
4. Through reading great classic and contemporary works of literature
representative of a variety of periods, cultures, and worldviews, students can
vicariously inhabit worlds and have experiences much different than their own.

Segment Two: Exploring
Literature Circles
• What questions would you like to ask Ms. Hernandez about
her lesson?
• What might you do differently?
• What do you want to know more about?
• What, if anything, makes you uncomfortable about the
lesson?
• What excites you about trying this type of lesson with your
students?
• How do you predict your students might respond to such a
lesson?

Segment Three:
Exploring a Culture
of Literacy
What does this component of a culture of literacy “look like” in
a school or classroom? How do you know if it exists and/or is
effective?

Segment Four: Literature
Circles in the Classroom
Before the next session:
Create a plan for using literature or inquiry circles.
• Which unit or topic that you currently teach would lend itself
to such a practice?
• Which texts would be appropriate for the activity?
• How will you organize the circles?
• Who will you work with from this group (or in your school) to
provide support with this practice?

Segment Five: Respond
in Your Learning Log
So, these days when we do literature circles with kids, we
don’t assign an arbitrary or superficial project at the end of
each book. Instead we ask, “Has this book changed you in
some way? Where does this book take you next? What do you
want to find out or do as a result of having read this? Do you
have any lingering questions?”
