I love to have my middle school students participate in literature circles, so I translated that activity into this blog.

Diana's Literature Circle Blog is fun!!I would be probably intersted in literature if my teacher taught us in this way =) we only have boring lecturing back then !! I will rate 10 for Diana's blog!

I was wondering, do you ever deal with "Banned Book" issues in your literature circle? Here's a tiny url link to the ALA's list of
Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century. If the editor won't support the embed, here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/n6w3et
