My Collaberation

I had some benefits of working and collaborating with classmates, one of those benefits was that I had less work to do which made e a lot happier. Another benefit was that I could either get a better grade depending on my group members. Also It also made me do work on time that was good because the pressure of sharing a grade makes me do my work on good time or on the schedule. These benefits did benefit me.

One of the challenges that challenged me was that the fact that some of my group members did everything a little late, and also one of my group members did it for the wrong chapter. But eventually we did everything on time, the only thing that worried me was if they put some effort into our work. Also I could talk to one of my group members while I was at home I chatted to him and told some advice.

Also I had seen some new understandings of other groups they saw what I read in a different perspective which once you think of it, it could be true and then a discussion came up about it. One new thing about Hatchet was that Brian when he moved to his shelter we were not exactly sure what type of shelter was it and that was something we discussed because I was not even sure what type of shelter that he stayed in. I saw others peoples view of the story and maybe how he felt.

LIt circle reflection

The book I chose for literature circles was Hatchet. We had to read chapters 1, and 2. In our discussion we learned new things that we did not think about. Other people had different views about what happened which could help us understand new ideas and information about the story.It made us learn how Brian (the main character) felt although it does not say how he felt when he was going to crash.

 What I found a really big connection that I thought every one would do, was when in one part Brian says "easy to say hard to do" that was a big connection because, when you are given a project that requires imagination and creativity you start to brag about what you are going to make, create or write about. That happened to me several times, I had a project and I used my  max power of my imagination and after when we had to do it I thought it was really hard to do. We also learned other peoples experiences in their life. How they felt when they did something similar to Brian, so we have an idea how Brian felt when it does not tell.

I predict that soon Brian will get hungry and will need to drink water. Predictions. Some predictions that I think that will happen soon in the story is that, when Brian landed he was so sure for a search party that he knows that it will come, an he said he could survive one, two, three, four and said he does not want to think of more days to survive. If Brian is so sure about his search party then the search party will come because he said his parents care about him so much. I also predicted that Brian might need to migrate from the lake he landed at because he can not stay there forever if food is further away.
