reflection on Literature circle

 My partner for this literature circle was Tyler. Last week Tyler and I worked on a collaborative literature together on the book Thundercave these are the benefits of working with a classmate, challenges and obstacles which I overcame (tried to overcome) and also the new understandings I gained about the novel.

The benefits of working with a classmate.

 The benefits of working with a classmate was that you had an extra person to give you feedback and also give you some extra ideas. Another benefit is that there is someone else to correct your work incase if you spelled something wrongly or if your grammar is incorrect.

Challenges / obstacles which you overcame (tried to overcome)

One obstacle that I overcame was that I had to tell my partner if it would be okay to switch somethings and another challenge, was that I did not want to let my partner down because otherwise he would get a bad grade because of me. A huge obstacle that I tried to overcome was to not get distracted in any way so I could focus clearly on doing a good job on my literature circle.

New understandings that you gained about the novel

A new understanding that I gained about the novel is that it turned out to be completely the opposite of what I had predicted was going to be about. Another understanding that I gained from the novel was that there was a huge variety of new words I learned.

A Reflection of my Literature Circle

How did your groups discussion helped your understanding of the novel?

The groups discussion helped my understanding of the novel. For example the passage that Gerald read made me think of the book in a completely different way. Tyler's passage was very interesting too because I think of the passage he read as an unimportant passage but then I realized it was very important. 

What are the connections that you made during your discussion?

My first connection was that my moms dad got divorced and that relates to Jacobs mom divorcing his dad. My second connection was that when my dog got run over by a car my family and I ran down to check on him as soon as my maid contacted us which relates to when Jacob's mom got driven over by a car and he rushed to the emergency room.

Predictions

My prediction is that Jacob will move to the Kenyan bush with his dad but his dad will be a little bit disappointed because he had no idea. I also think that Jacob will be in a lot of dangerous journeys.
