Singing for Mrs Pettigrew reading plan (3ºB&C)

Below you can find a list with the Literary circles dates (on Thursdays 3ºC, Tuesdays 3ºB).  That day you have to hand in the Literary Circle worksheet of the story/stories whose LC is scheduled for that day. You can find info on what a literary circle worksheet should include HERE. I recommend reading the introduction by the author to each story, but the LC (and the LC worksheet) will only deal with the story itself.
