Each of the principles of effective teaching – emotional safety, appropriate challenges and self-constructed meaning – identified in brain research is embodied in the literature circle presented in this introductory segment. Grade 6 teacher Sandra Borzellino speaks about scaffolding the learning as students prepare to be part of a literature circle. By explaining the steps prior to, during and after the literature circle, she clarifies her expectations throughout the learning process. She explains her role in supporting and assessing students and discusses how they will become independent literature-circle participants. |
