First and seventh periods selected their books for the literature circle. We’ll be working on books from the Bluford Series:

• Blood is Thicker
  
• Brothers in Arms
• The Fallen
  
• Shattered
• Someone to Love Me
• Until We Meet Again

Tomorrow, the groups will be deciding how to pace their reading and the activities (discussion and writing) they’ll be doing.
