December 12, 2014 Friday Learning Log


Today, we did literature circles in class. Literature circles are where we choose a quote and discuss it. We connect to this in several ways. The ways are: Text to Self, Text to World, Text to Text. Text to Self means connecting with your past experiences or other things. Text to World means connecting to the world; it's histories, inventions, etc. Text to Text means connecting to another piece of written work, like a poem or a story.

Learning Intention:

We did literature circles so that we know how to read with a purpose and look for important/meaningful things in the story. We also learn social and listening skills by sharing our quotes with others and listening to theirs.

Connections:

We can connect to this outside of Humanities because this can help us when researching for a project, because we will have to read with a purpose. It can also help us understand the story better when we’re reading.

Homework:
