Project Description (links, pictures, embedded videos, lesson plan, etc) Using online discussion tools and forums to create a collaborative learning environment centered around literature circlesand writing to encourage and promote literature sharing across the grade level. Each seventh grade class will be given a choice of novels to read independently as a group. Within these groups, they will read, discuss and journal in response to student developed questions stemming from QAR mini lessons and small group discussions. Each period will then take their inclass discussion and questions and pose it to the pther class periods. They will be responsible for responding to the question, replying to other students' thoughts and posing their own question on a wiki discussion board. It provides each student an opportunity to work with a peer group outside of their class period and teacher.
