These books will give students the opportunity to connect positively with reading. All of these books have visual elements like movies or TV shows that will spark engagement for the students. Literature students let students be in charge of their own learning and thinking. As soon as my 7th graders are in control of their own homework, they are highly motivated to read. Motivation is so high that they often assign themselves more reading than I would, and they are more apt to honor the due dates. Ultimately, each student is responsible for transferring the assignments from the group calendar into his or her planner, thereby teaching them the skills necessary for achieving long-range goals. They also allow students to learn listening an speaking skills that are very important. There is no doubt that middle school students love to socialize. This is one reason why I like literature circles: it's a learning experience that taps into their social skills.
