You know that dream we all had when we became ELA teachers? Students sitting in a circle, having deep, thoughtful conversations about books instead of just staring blankly when you ask a question.
It’s a done-for-you framework that helps teachers:
✔️ Lead meaningful classroom discussions that go beyond surface-level responses.
✔️ Teach students how to listen, respond, and build on each other’s ideas (without chaos).
✔️ Prep once and use the same process across multiple novels or units.
✔️ Hit reading, writing, and speaking standards—all through authentic conversation.
✔️ Watch even your quietest students start to actually enjoy talking about texts.
Make student discussions the part of class everyone looks forward to—not another awkward silence to fill.
