I think we've had decent amounts to read each given deadline, and personally I found it to be smooth sailing.
Cons -- I'm going to agree with Josh & Katelyn when it comes to keeping up with notes. I find myself behind on them and try to focus on my enjoyment towards the novel more. Lit Circles altogether could substitute for them.]]> 2021-06-16 12:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609870225 joshua_merendino https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609872897 Pros - good practice for higher english courses. Reading on our own can help us internalize the information.  
Cons - Notes become more difficult to keep up on because we're on our own. The need for notes isn't really there because we discuss the novel in these Lit Circles, making it harder(for me at least).]]> 2021-06-16 12:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609872897 joshua_merendino https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609878651 I did well keeping up with the reading and coming up with questions and answers. The main issue I had was typing out my thoughts to put onto a notes sheet.]]> 2021-06-16 12:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609878651 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609880516 Cons- Writing notes, I couldn't give my full attention to the book and couldn't read as smoothly..
Pros- Prepared us for having to get things done in a short amount of time.]]> 2021-06-16 12:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609880516 joshua_merendino https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609882544 The end of the book confirmed the theme of letting go for me. All themes in the novel tie into each other nicely. Loneliness, individuality, and acceptance(letting go) are all inherently tied together. The novel also teaches the valuable life lesson of looking ahead to the future, and understanding that dwelling on the past for too long hurts more than it will help.]]> 2021-06-16 12:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609882544 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609883818 I did well with the discussions and responding and interacting with my classmates questions.I could improve scheduling my days to read I often waited until the last minute.]]> 2021-06-16 12:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609883818 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609888106 It helped me understand that you won't be stuck in that dark place and better days are to come, it is always possible to move on. It also shows that there will always be consequences from doing something wrong. Some things will push you down at first but will also make you stronger as time goes by.]]> 2021-06-16 13:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609888106 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609891253 Pros- Good amount of reading for each section, as well as how the sections were divided Cons- I was more focused on getting the notes done than I was actually enjoying to read the book. ]]> 2021-06-16 13:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609891253 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609894190 I did very well with actually reading the novel. I could definitely improve with my pace of the sections, and try to keep up without falling behind. ]]> 2021-06-16 13:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609894190 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609896954 Do the characters get the right kind of closure at the end of the book?]]> 2021-06-16 13:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609896954 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609898886 It helped me understand that life does eventually get better. As well as learning that there are multiple paths in life that you yourself can make. It lets me know that it is possible to move on no matter how hard it may seem at the moment. ]]> 2021-06-16 13:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609898886 nyla_rawles https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609900167 Chapters like "Snapshots" & "Bones" differ from each of the standardly numbered chapters. Why do you think these titled chapters were included the story of "TLB"? Do you think they enhanced the story well? Or do you think both are just the same as any chapter?]]> 2021-06-16 13:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609900167 joshua_merendino https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609901545 Now that we're done reading the book, are there any moments or directions the story took that totally surprised you? Would you have written something different?]]> 2021-06-16 13:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609901545 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609906911 How do you feel about the ending? Did you expect more?]]> 2021-06-16 13:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609906911 nyla_rawles https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609942884 I personally feel that I had great questions when it came to our discussion sessions. I'd say the question process has gone well for me. As for next year, or rather before then, I could use work on getting thoughts/analysis' down on paper for when writing pieces do eventually get assigned.]]> 2021-06-16 13:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/9va5zvcpgetjpq2t/wish/1609942884
