Collaborative Literature Circles.

In Humanities we have started Collaborate Literature Circle. We have free choice Literature Circle, which means: the teacher allows us to choose our book, my book is: THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE written by Avi. My partners are Radhika and Hime. 


1.The benefits of working with a classmate.


 Working with a classmate benefits us to correct each others assignment's. It allows us to understand what people think and criticize on their work before the due date. I also believe that, working with a partner is more enjoyable for you have more to experience and more to think about (correcting).   


2. Challenges / obstacles which you overcame (tried to overcome).


One of the hardest obstacles I had to conquer was the fact that I was blocked from my email, which means I couldn't communicate with my group. We came up with a solution, although not a good plan I followed the idea and found that it worked. 


3. New understandings that you gained about the novel.



I gained the  understanding of Charlotte, and how she can really stand up for herself, in a dark situation. Mostly in my group we only chose passages which showed how Charlotte can stand up for herself. "While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die." This quote explains Charlotte's dark  and difficult experiences and self torment when she had to learn how to live with the poorer society coming from the wealthy life
