My group and I discussed many thing during our literature circles. We got into how we felt about each character, the animation, and how it was written. We also exchanged views on our opinions on graphic novels and if the book was hard or easy to read.
There were several things that I enjoyed about the lit circles. I am a person who loves to talk about my favorite television shows, movies, and books with other people so this was fun for me. I am a text-based reader so it was difficult for me to focus on the illustartions while reading. My group would point out certain pictures that were funny during our discussions that I would've otherwise never seen. We were also able to explain things to eachother that another group member may have misinterpreted.
When I become a reading teacher, I would love to hold literature cirlces for my students. I liked that they were student oriented and not topic restricted. I think it's important for students to be able to discuss what they want about the book and let their thoughts run freely. I think these circles will help to create a love for reading and help the student figure out what types of books they like and don't like.
