One thing I found that my sixth graders enjoyed were literature circles.  I saw many different literature circle jobs online so I decided to create my own based on the jobs that  I saw and liked. I stapled the jobs in file folders because it’s cheap.  Since each group had their own set they could work on their assignment daily (whenever they finished with something early) and I didn’t feel bad when I had to replace them. There were five jobs: Summarizer, Discussion Director, Word Wizard, Illustrator, and Connector.  Each student had the opportunity to have each job.  The folders I created were for students to reference and these stayed in their reading group bins.  They would have to write down their job’s assignment in their composition notebook over the reading portion assigned to their group. I am going to share these with you because who doesn’t love free stuff? I uploaded it to Google Drive so it doesn’t look exactly how it’s pictured, but the important stuff is the same.
