My Collaborative Lit Circle Blogpost

The benefits of working with a partner is useful because he or she helps me improve my things and that gets us a better grade. It also helps me by looking at example to improve my own writing. Collaborating with a partner was also very nice because I would have to do that much and stress with the homework.

I didn't like to share my Lit Circle with others because I thought I bad at it but now I actually gets some help from my partner so I can now share it with anyone because I think that I did good in this Lit Circles. Working with my partner wasn't that hard because I the other Lit Circle was so long but now it has gotten shorter for me and my partner because we collaborate.

I have new understandings of the book because everybody in my group have a different opinion which they share with me and the rest of the group and that makes me see things from a different angle. Also, it makes me think about things I would never had thought about. When I share something with my Lit Circle group I actually learn the thing I am saying a lot better because sharing something with others makes me think more thoroughly  before telling.

The Lit Circles Task

The Questions: How your groups discussion helped your understanding of the novel.

2. Connections that you made during your discussion

3. Predictions

My group made me understand the novel by explaining everything very easily and good. If there was something I did not know, the others would tell me what it was. If I understood something in one way, the others in my group could have another opinion, and we could discuss and we would agree with each other. I thought this was useful because I also got help and advice from them that I should do on my next lit circles. That was very useful.


One of the people in my group had a similar connection and that was his mom being in a car crash and so had my mom.I made some connections about my life that was similar to Jacob's when my lit circle buddy was reading aloud. I also had a bike in Norway like Jacob and I left it outside and that was the opposite. The connections gave my many memories.


I think that Jacob will get tickets to fly to Kenya but how will he get money for the tickets ?  I think Sam will try make Jacob stay but Jacob escapes but this is only what I predict will happen next. I also think he will be looking for his dad in the bush and hopefully he finds his father. The last thing I think will happen is that Sam will get remarried and Jacob will never see Sam ever again.
