摘要：Literature circles are groups formed by students who get together to read the same story, poem or book. In these groups, students discuss and share what they have read. As required by the roles they assume in groups, students perform many activities in literature circles. These roles may be divided into two groups as main and optional roles. The main roles are questioner, connector, literary luminary, and illustrator. The optional roles are roles such as summarizer, vocabulary enricher (word wizard), scene setter, character sketcher, and predictor. Every student has to assume a role. Literature circle activities that are done in classes contribute to students’ cognitive, affective and social development. In each literature circle, students and their roles differ. Thus, students who assume various roles in literature circles are able to benefit highly from these reading activities. A step-by-step example of how literature circles are implemented in classes is given to contribute to teachers who want to use student-centered methods in their classrooms.
