]]> Below is a form that I use with my older or more responsible students to record their discussion and questions when doing literature circles or book groups.  For younger students, I like to assign more directed roles or jobs; however, with my older students I encourage them to self-direct.  This handout also helps them keep track of important quotations or  imagery while they read, and they can refer back to these sheets for textual evidence when they need to write an essay.

]]> Below are useful conversation starters that I pass out to students on their way in the door. They must use what is on their card as a verbal exit ticket.  You can allow students to use the cards at any point during the lesson or you may want to  have students use them in a limited time as a way to facilitate longer discussions.  As these are general for almost any text, I have mine laminated and use them over and over.


I also use this strategy with our weekly vocabulary words.  Index cards work great to pass out and collect again.
