These books will be used in small groups for literature groups. The goal of literature groups is to give students a chance to enjoy reading in a low pressure environment. We want to give students the opportunity to truly enjoy reading without worrying about analyzing or being tested on the content. This will provide a class set for all of the students in 7th grade to be enjoyed for many years. Students will read the books, engage in discussions with their peers, and answer specific questions related to the novel.
