Literature circle partner Reflection

On our last literature circle, our class made Partners to work with on the literature circle.

 

The benefits of working with a classmate in the literature circles were that we could collaborate with each other, and discuss the questions and passages. Also, you could get feedback from your partner if you needed to improve anything. Another benefit is that you only had to do one half of the literature circle instead of the whole.


Some challenges we had to face were that I came up with a similar connection as Ashika's passage, so I changed it and it turned out to be a much better connection/reaction than first.

Some new understandings I gained about the book are that I understand Jacob more now, for example his character and the way he acts. Also, first I didn't know what poachers were, but now I understand how cruel they are to animals and in this case: Elephants.

In short, I gained more confidence in my literature circles that I can do better in them. I also understand the novel more and I really enjoy reading Thunder Cave. I also think that teamwork can be easier, but I rather do the literature circles alone!
