JoinA Literature-Circles Approach to Understanding Science as a Human Endeavor
Unfortunately, the reading of science-related, historical nonfiction alone does not necessarily lead students to make personal connections to science or understand science as a human endeavor interdependent with culture, society, and history. Teachers must structure students’ reading to ensure that they consider specific aspects of science while reading and discussing books. One way for teachers to focus their students’ attention on components of the nature of science is through the use of literature circles.
