Lit Circle with Partners Reflection

In humanities we made our third Lit Circle of the second book. In this occasion I'm reading "Maroo of the Winter Caves" and my partner was Alvin. I think that we both did a good job.


Some benefits of working with a classmate was that our partner can make us feedback and he\she can help us with with our questions, passages and connections. He\she can also tell us what make sense and what not. and off course with spelling mistakes. 


Some challenges were that sometimes your partner doesn't make his\her work in time or that he\she sometimes take some of your ideas. Sometimes your partner thinks that your question is level one or maybe it doesn't make sense and you don't think the same as her\him.

New understandings that I've got of the book is that Maroo is gaining courage and knowledge about how life is about. How i said in my connection, in chapter 8 I felt so sad because Maroo' s father died. I really liked working with a partner and I hope we can work like that again.

Literature Circle Reflection

During the literature circles discussion, we share our thoughts and opinions about literature circles of others. That help us understand our mistakes and correct them for the next literature circle. When we were reading some literature circles then the owner of  the lit circle finds some mistakes and some parts that does not make sense. During a person is reading her/his passage we all first read the page and then we listen to her/his passage so that if we want to say something we have how to prove it, with the book.

Here is one connection that i had with the story...

• I really enjoyed reading chapter 4 because its talks about Rivo and he reminds me about Murdock. Murdock was my dog, he was Shakira´s son (Shakira was a she-dog that we had in our farm) When Shakira´s son was born I wanted to take him home because he was so cute, after a long period of time of asking my dad he finally said ¨yes¨, Then we took him home. I wanted to name him but I didn´t know how to call him. Then my dad showed up and said ¨you should call him Murdock¨ ,I disagreed but I asked why ¨because Murdock is the name of the mad man in the A- Team, which was an old movie that I saw when I was a kid¨ he answered. Murdock was so cute, at the beginning he was sky and afraid but after two or more weeks he peed on the carpet and he bit everything. I think this is like when Rivo developed confidence and he starts being more friendly and not shy and scared.

One question i have is How will Maroo and her family survive without her father?

I hope that while im reading the next chapters I can answer the question by my self.

Thank you

Maria!

Symmetry in KL

I decided to take a picture of my Ipod because it has one line of symmetry down the middle. The line of symmetry passes through the middle of the button of the Ipod.
