As an ongoing project we met with students at Tibbetts Middle School every week and worked with groups on reading a book in literature circle type of lesson. We (the UNM students) had the opportunity to develop our own lesson plans and work on a continued unit with our Tibbetts students for the entire semester. This was a great experience for me in which I learned a lot about teaching students to participate and work together to obtain a group goal. Below is the material in the book that we covered during each of our sessions.
