1. I think it is better working with a partner then by your self.So when you are with your partner you would give each other ideas to make your lit circle better. When you have an partner you can tell each other comments and help then to understand  how to make your lit circle better and you get a chance to get lots of comments from each other and it is okay to make some mistakes in your story.

2. The obstacle that I had to overcome when doing the literature circles was when I had to make the questions more difficult. I have a hard time trying to make a person think more critically about something. My questions are usually just simple recall type question. For example I would ask someone what color was the car that Jacob road in? Instead I should have asked why did they paint the car the color of a zebra? I need to sit down with someone and talk in more detail before I come up with a good question. I will try to do this more.


3. I did gain some new understandings in the novel. I thought that the car that was painted the color of a zebra was because the owner of the car liked zebras and wanted to make a cute car to drive. Instead I learned that in order to get close to the animals and help make them more comfortable with you that if you paint your vehicle you can get close to them and they won't show as much fear. This sounds smart to me.

1. How my discussion helped my understanding is read it though and you will think '' oh so that is what you mean by that'' you talk how about the story and it reminds you about what you read. You get peoples ideas and their point of view and the people in your group they give you comments and how to make your story better. when people hear your ideas and they may say '' oh maybe you could change this'' they tell you that you could change a couple things in your story.

2. When you are in your discussion group you may have some connections like '' oh that has happen to me before'' so you have some connections in you friends story. Like for an example Jake had to sell his mom things and you would have to do the same because your mom has die and you don't have enough money to go to stay with your dad in Kenya.When you are in your discussion group you may all not like the book and you think Call It Courage was a better book so you agree that you dint like the book so that is what you might talk in you discussion.

3. When you are in your group you will have lots of  predictions that you might think what will happen next and you may think what happens if Jake did this. So your and your group will want to think what will happen next and what will happen to Jake when he goes to Kenya all by him self. When your group thinks and talks to each other and see what the other people think what will happen next in the story and share their ideas with the rest of the group.

The answer to What role did geographic location and natural resources play in the the development of Malaysia they have tin, that is how they made Royal Selangor. The resources is they use tree bark to make boats,  furniture.

Malaysia is a trade route ( when you ship you thing from one place to another place.) The other resources of Malaysia is oil, gas the money the made by producing oil, gas help them to make the Petronas twin towers.

My favorite part was planting the mangroves, We had to wear boots, gloves.  The mud was slimy and you could get stuck very easily. When your are walking on the log your boots did not have a good grip so you fall allot. When you got there you get in the mud, It was hard to plant the mangrove you had to take off your glove. But some people did not have to take off there glove to plant the mangrove because the glove fit them, some gloves did not fit other people. When you are planting the mangrove first you have to have a little mangrove then you have to take the plastic off the mangrove, you have to put the mangrove in the mud, you grab some mud and cover the little mangrove with mud. Finally your guide will hand you a piece of green rope, you have the rope, you tie round the stick, the little mangrove so the water dose not knocked down your little mangrove.

1 How can we understand the past and our world is we can predict the past and what it will look like to you and other people.

2 The early humans have the tools for art to express there culture is carving statues and drawing animals on the wall so people who come to see all the drawings on the wall.

3 The art facts tell us that they have been here an they want us to see how they lived and what the cavemen did on the walls and the statues.

 Hi my name is Tatyana and I am from Texas I like to travel a lot plus I like to visit new schools but I don't like saying good by to my friends.

 The 3 books I have read is Goosebumps stay out of the basement by R.L.Stine, 39 clues  by Rick
 Riordan,The Invention of Hugo Cabret By Brian Selznick .

 The last movie I saw in Houston was Eclipse.

 The achievement is not to be late for class.

 My favorite memory was  going to New  Zealand  because I got to ride in a helicopter for the first time it was cool.

  The 5 adjective is small, smart, cool, funny, has lots of friends.

  My goal is to make new friends not just the friends in 5 grade.
