I agree wholeheartedly. I used the fishbowl technique someone on this listserve described, and it has gone much smoother this year. Another thing that helped was using forms from Laura Candler. http://www.lauracandler.com/litcircles.htm

  I would suggest that you emphasize the importance of modeling the roles for
students and teachers taking time to really teach these as well the

mistake of jumping into these without teaching these procedures and roles
then are disappointed when their literature circles aren't as effective as
they would want them to be.
