What Did We Do?
First we went over the paragraph booklets, our teacher was going over what was assigned and instructions for the next assignments. We went over questions and answered them for people that were unclear about the instructions. Next we were told to work on our critiques for our lit circle novel. We needed to put at least ten pros and cons to our story. We worked on our individual critiques while the teacher came around to check every body's.
Why?
We went over the booklet to make sure everybody had a clear understanding on hat needed to be done. We do the booklet to be able to improve our paragraphs and writing skills. We wrote a critique about our novel because we want to try and practice our constructive criticism and be able to identify each part ( ex. we had to be able to think about the target audience and be able to identify the pros and cons about the book). We also wanted to try and back up our points with specific details and examples from the story. That way our points become more reasonable
Reflections and Connections
Criticism is important even outside of novels. Since we are identifyingstuff like the pro's and con's and finding the target audience. WE are building up our constructive criticism. We can use this skill for a wide variety, whether it's a poem or even a movie. Being able to find the pints and improve upon benefits both your own skills and youracademic skills. Also to improve our writing skills is going to be very useful as well as developing paragraphs because we are going to needing that skill quite a lot in our high school life, we also want to be able to develop our explanation skills
