Quick, Tammy
SRATE Journal, v30 n2 2021
Implementing literature circles in K-12 classroom provides students opportunities to take ownership of their learning. Teachers can maximize students' learning through social justice practices. Providing students equitable access to resources where they choose, collaborate, create, and communicate in safe spaces is conducive to students' cognitive and personal development. Integrating digital tools is an interactive way for students to enhance their literature circle experiences. Students use digital tools to demonstrate their understanding of literacy concepts. Literature circles can be assessed and modified based upon grade level and students' needs. Digital literature circles provide students opportunities to critically analyze literature while collaborating with others in an interactive format. Implementation, formats, resources, and assessments to infuse technology in literature circles while promoting equity and social justice concepts will be presented.
