Lit circle reflection

One of the benefits for working with a partner is that you are able to discuss and compare your responses to the questions and responses. You may even find mistakes in your answer and you can tell each other about and what will improve your grade. You can also learn a different way of looking passages in the book which will help you expand your knowledge for the book.  You could learn about collaborating with each other which help get along with others later on another projects. I would also say that people have less to explain and the partner will explain it in a different way which might the part you missed. They will be able to remind each other to stay on task and remember certain talking about the book. You can also problem solve with each other about problems that occurs in the book.


Some of the obstacles that we overcame are that we had to agree on who was going to create the page and who was going to share it. We also had to agree on what day that we were going to check what our group members have written. I have to also read over my group member writing and make sure there are no mistakes. I also need to make sure that the comments that I give will make sure that it will help my partner so that there writing will improve. I also have to make sure and see that she has done her work so that I can tell her how she can improve.  I also have to make sure that we don't have any disagreements in our own perspectives and discuss the problem. We had a problem she had given me feedback and told me what to post but I had not done my work and so she did not look at it until Monday. I had finished the lit circle Sunday but we came on at different times we didn't have enough time to look at each other’s writing.


We all must have gained a different understanding of the novel because the other person has a different type of view of the book. You also learn how the person can understand the book which will give you a different way of the lit circles. You also may want to mix your way of writing with another person's own and that may help you improve by a lot. That person may have a better understanding of the book and that will be shown in there writing. My partner helped me because she showed a lot of personal connection that would help you shows more detail and evidence that it connects to your real world. If you give more personal connection you show that you know what you are connecting to and helps prove your understanding of this group. Another thing that could help you show your understanding of the book is word choice that shows you know the certain description's in the book that the writer is trying to tell you. 


Overall working with a partner is better even thought you have to do your share of the work and give the same amount also the same amount of thought into it. You get to learn another way that someone writes his or her lit circle's which could help you improve your writing skills. I don't mean go copy them I mean mix it up your writing and their writing that way you can find a mix your writing if there method is better. You also look at how they still get more than require but still keep their writing entertaining.
