Expository Text in Literature Circles.

Daniels, Harvey

Voices from the Middle, v9 n4 p7-14 May 2002

Considers the use of literature circles beyond the scope of fiction reading. Discusses literature circles' use with biographies, information books, essay collections, science adventures, travelogues, biographies, muckraking exposes, memoirs and even content area reading. Notes that teachers have an immediate incentive to try nonfiction literature circles because standardized reading tests contain 70-80% expository text. (SG)
