Literature Circles Discussion

Literature Circles Discussion helped me a lot with understanding of the novel. I understand the story of the novel so far and the discussion had helped me a lot with this. By the discussion, I learned hard vocabulary, I could now guess the characteristic of the characters as well. I also had many connections and a few predictions.

I would say that this discussion, was the best way for me to understand all about the novel. During the discussion, group members discussed about the chapters, questions and vocabulary. Especially discussing questions, supported me to predict the rest of the story. My prediction was that Brian will be left alone in the jungle and he would have to use a hatchet that his mom gave it to him, to survive and overcome. The questions, assisted me to think of connections. My connections is that I have rode the plane when I was 8 years old in Canada like Brian did.

If I hadn't had a discussion, I could have had many difficulties understanding the novel. I wish that if I can, I want to have one more chance to discuss with other people that are having trouble with understanding the novel, then I can come up with more improved explanation of the chapters, questions and vocabulary so that I can also help them.
