Lit Circles with a partner.

I liked this "Lit Circles with a partner" thing because it helped me understand what I had to improve and I also got to help my partner. We got to work on our partner work skills and also improve our questions, passages, and connections buy reading my partner's questions and try to write something as good as my partner's work. This was the best part. We got learn how other people wrote things. I only one problem, I accidently erased my partner's connection, so he had to do it again. If i didn't work with a partner, I wouldn't have asked someone to do extra work.

Literature Discussions

In humanities this trimester, we had to read chapters of books and write a passage, question, connection and find a vocab word for each time we finish read. The discussions help us understand the book better and predict what will happen next.

The discussions help us understand the book better. For example, when I didn't get what happened to the characters in the story, the discussions help us because other people reading the same book explain what happened in the book during the discussions. Also, when we don't understand a part of a story, then I wouldn't enjoy the book much, and I think the Lit circles helped me a lot.

Literature circles help us predict what will happen next. When people are together, and share our thoughts about the book and share what we think was important, we could add all those facts together and come up with a prediction of what we think will happen next.

Because of these reasons, I think Literature Discussions are good and they help me with my learning, thinking and helps me improve my discussing skills.

Lines of Symmetry


Picture of me holding a case. It has a line of symmetry. It runs to the opening where i am pointing to to the opposite end of the case.
