My overall implementation of the literature circle is that it was very beneficial. The students had an overall good reaction to it. They liked working in groups and having different job duties. The students responded very well to the literature because it was books that corresponded with our reading units. This technique is very appropriate for ESL learners because the students were able to communicate with each other. I would suggest that other teachers that would like to implement this technique should explain the different student roles to students so that they understand. The teacher should also explain all rules and the expectations for the activity.
