LEARNING BLOG: MONDAY

I hope this is OK I couldn't make it that long because all we did today was lit circle discussions...

WHAT DID WE DO?
Today, despite the fact that we had a T.O.C., we did our lit circle discussions with our books and dialectical journals that we had to prepare for today. We had some difficulty sorting out the groups, but after that we worked really well on our discussions!

WHY DID WE DO IT?
We did our lit circle discussions because we need to practice connecting/asking questions to a text references of sorts. We also did this to practice and enhance our collaborating skills in a group, and asking questions that provoke discussion (deep thinking questions).

REFLECTIONS/CONNECTIONS
I think what we did today in humanities is important because connecting, asking deep questions, and collaborating in a group may come in handy down the road especially when applying for a job. If you can't collaborate well in a group, that narrows the job choices down to the ones that don't require group collaboration, so you have less to choose from.

 HOMEWORK REMINDERS
-If you haven't already done so, finish up your innovation fair proposals, your self evaluation for your lit circles, two group goals and etc., and a brief summary of what your group discussed today (all for tomorrow).
-Don't forget, our last lit circle discussion is next week so prepare your dialectical journals for Monday.
