영문 초록

The literature circle strategy is one that promotes students’ higher level thinking and literacy skills (Daniels, 1994) providing a way for students to engage in critical thinking and reflection as they read, discuss, and respond to books or other reading materials. Today’s literacies go beyond paper to include multimedia, reading from computer screens and personal devices and include media, technology, information, and other critical literacies (Semali, 2001). This paper describes how teachers can integrate the role-based technology enhanced or integrated literature circle to help teachers and students interact in a meaningful way in the discussion of literature, integrating media technology to better engage the student in the process. The paper also provides sample role sheets for classroom use along with links to other role sheets. Resources are provided concerning online available of free and open source texts in English which can be used as the literature source. The use of roles has also been found to be an effective collaborative group tool, allowing all of the group to work on a similar goal while allowing for individual assessment.
