Literature Circles

Hey guys!

Last week at one of the Christina's classes, she showed us a great technique to teach literature in a more engaging way. I have studied about Literature Circles in my Portuguese Teaching Methodology classes at college, but I have never applied in my English classes, first because I have never thought that it would be possible, I always thought that they were very difficult and complicated to apply.

 After Christina’s classes I think it would be a great technique to apply in my intermediate and advanced classes. When Christina selected me as an Illustrator I got really scared of my role, because I do not draw so well, but during the discussion with my group, it was really engaging to see so many sides of the same story and after I heard some discussions about the story, I got some really nice insights on how to draw some parts of my story that I didn’t think at first. So this why, I think that this technique is so unique and engaging. I am excited to show it to my colleagues in Brazil, and I hope they would like it too, and the book it was also great, I just read some chapters I really would like to read the whole book when I get  more free time.
