Reading Book Groups in Mrs. Kurtz's Class

For Language Arts Mrs. Kurtz's class students are reading in different book groups. The students are in their Interdependence Unit, so the characters in the books go off on their own and try to survive. Each book that we are reading is written by Jean Craighead George. The books are Tree Castle Island, My Side of the Mountain, and The Missing Gator of Gumbo Limbo. The groups are sometimes too big so My Side of the Mountain and Tree Castle Island has to be split into two groups. Each student has to write a reflection at least one page long. Each group also gets assigned at least two chapters to four chapters every other day. About every other day the group meets. They talk about their book and get off topic and then read thier reflections. Then the next group comes up to the front.
