Literature Circle Questions for Discussion
Pages 84-94
Guidelines for the Literature Circle:
EVERYONE must answer each question. As each of your
classmate’s answers, listen intently, then ask questions if
you have any. While listening, use others’ ideas to help you
think. In order for this to work, you must be open to other’s
ideas and willing to share your own.
1. Tell about at least one connection that you can make personally
with the characters or the story. Do you have some shared interest,
feeling, or experience? Are you like or different from one of the
characters?
2. What was going through your mind as we read this part of the
story?
3. Choose a character in the book, besides Paul Fisher, and tell why
this person is important to the story. Describe this person’s
relationship to the main character of the story.
4. Predict new things Paul will experience at Tangerine Middle
School.
