3/4/10-Scribe

Today was our first group meeting of literature circles. Our group was assigned to read "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." As a group we created a schedule of the amount of the book we have to read for each group discussion. It was hard for us to do this because our book is almost 500 pages. McKenzie did a good job at dividing the amount of pages up evenly for the amount of days we have to read it. Alyssa suggested that we break up the amount by chapters because we don't like to stop reading in the middle of a page or sentence. Even though it took a while to figure out how much to read for each class, we finally were able to make the schedule by listening to all of each other's ideas.
