Students received their Literature Circles back today. I am concerned about some of their marks; you may want to ask your child how they did on the project, and even look at the marking rubric.

Literature Circles
The Literature Circle folders are due tomorrow, Tuesday November 17. They need to be completed this week. If they are incomplete tomorrow, students will need to spend some time after school for completion. Other arrangements are possible, if necessary.
The folders must have: 4 completed roles and 8 questions. As well, the book is to be finished. There has also been work on a collaborative wiki, which has been worked on in class by those whose assignments were completed for the day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I don't want to be hard-nosed, and I can make allowances if needed. However, this project needs to be completed.
