Some help from English teachers?

I’m thinking about trying out modified lit circles in my science classroom next year. Can any of you weigh in on your experiences with lit circles, roles you’ve used, resources, general tips, scaffolding, student products, etc?

Ask box, submit, reblog, reply, etc. Thanks in advance!
