Lit Circle Projects will direct to the expectations and rubrics for each quarter's Lit Circle work.
Each quarter will have a different project that will accompany your Lit Circle work. Your group will need to be sure that everyone in the group is doing their part. Keep in mind that everyone in the group will earn the same grade. That means, if one person does exemplary work and the others door half-hearted work, the grade for everyone in the group will reflect the work of each person. Anne Frank projects include suggestions, expectations, and rubric.
