I want to expand my students' exposure to different types of writing in Literature Circles. Lit Circles are a way for students to independently read as a group. Lit Circles help my students to read and discuss with their peers. I want to incorporate Kwame Alexander books because he is an author that writes in poetry form using diverse characters. His books are relatable to middle schoolers and lets students see that writing comes in all forms within novels.
These books will engage my students while creating great Lit Circle conversations. Kwame Alexander books will prompt positive conversations regarding family relations, sports, fine arts, and teen years. I know my students will see themselves within the diverse characters Kwame Alexander has created. I can't wait to hear all the in depth conversations these novels will create in Lit Circles.
