Literature Circles, with a partner!
In our most recent Literature Circle, we got to work with a partner. This had many benifits, like you could ask your partner to check your work in only one section and tell you what was wrong with it and make suggestions for improvement and vice versa. One difficulty we had was that my computer would not open the Document so I could not work on improving my work. My partner and I overcame it by me telling her(on chat) what I needed to improve and then she typed it.

Literature Circle Discussion
In our litrature circles I am doing a book called True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. We always make loads of interesting predictions like, Mr.Grummage is Captain Jaggery, the crew is going to attack Captain Jaggery,Zacharias is going to kill Captain Jaggery and the stowaway on the ship is Mr. Cranick. These predictions opened some new doors for me and I understood the book better when I had some idea what would happen. We made connections from our previous books and told what had happened in those books which could help us figure out what would happen later on in the story. Litrature Circle Discussions helped me to understand the book and made me want to read more.
