ABSTRACT
This chapter shows ways to incorporate literature into teaching and learning, including helping students select books by making reading processes visible, and using read-alouds, Readers Theatre, reading workshop, literature circles, independent reading, and book discussion clubs. Examples of how these methods and structures could play out, and have played out, in specific disciplines are given. In order to show how all staff and students can be involved in a thematic exploration of a topic, there is a scenario of a school participating in a week-long school-wide interdisciplinary unit focusing on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, with the school librarian playing a key role.
