Tips for Primary Teachers.
A perfect activity for literature circles and shared reading during your literacy block! Students work independently and in groups to analyze, respond to, and discuss fictional texts. Each student receives an 8.5” x 11” page, and contributes a different piece of information to the group's overall discussion of the text. Roles can be rotated every chapter/section, or this activity can be completed after the students have read the entire text. Note: If they are new to Literature Circles, younger grades may require more direction than simply being handed their copy of the poster. It is suggested that a completed example be provided, or a section be completed together as a class so students understand teacher expectations. Roles: Setting Description- students draw and describe the setting (time/place). Main Events- students explain the main events of the plot. Character Development- students describe any growth/change in the characters. Quote Analysis- students select a quote and describe its importance in the text. To display their completed poster, students trim along the dotted edges and place their pages side by side on a background.

While I have shared a great deal about incorporating 6-Minute Solutions, here are a few other ways I worked to make fluency fun for my 6th graders.
