Literature Circles

Digital literature circles have begun! Many of the Grade 8 students at Hillsdale and Fielding are well into the first section of their books by now, and are preparing to post and respond to their first set of discussion questions. Students from Hillsdale will be hosting the questions for week one. Take a look at the list below to find out which blogs you need to visit this week!

If you're reading Sketches, Andrianna will be hosting your discussion. (I know, this is a change from the info you've got. Unfortunately, Karran has been sick this week, so he and Andrianna have traded discussion weeks.)

If you're reading Black and White, Sam will be hosting your discussion.

If you're reading Branded, Hannah will be hosting your discussion.

If you're reading Shaken, Max will be hosting your discussion.

If you're reading Wave, Breah will be hosting your discussion.

If you're reading We All Fall Down, Kelly will be hosting your discussion.

If you're reading Wounded, Michelle will be hosting your discussion.

On Friday, discussion questions will be posted. All group members will have until next Friday (Feb.  11) to respond to the question.

Please note: You are welcome and encouraged to comment more than once. If a groupmate makes a statement that you find interesting, you are encouraged to respond to what they've said, even if you've already posted your initial response. Be as active in the discussion as you want!

Hi Ms. Crosbie (and Hillsdale students),

I'm really glad that your class is starting out as Hosts for section one, as we're still trying to make time in class to read and get the first section of our novels done.

I wish you all good luck on your first postings, and look forward to seeing your discussions develop!

Ms. crosbie I was wondering if you were going to post who will be hosting discussion question number two for this week?
