LITERATURE CIRCLE REFLECTION Student: Stefan Hahn

Title of my book Coraline

Author Neil Gaiman

Describe a part of the book that you were able to visualize. I could see the three little kids trapped
in the closet when Coralines other mother locked coraline in the closet.

Name one connection you made to your literature circle book and describe.
Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, or Text-to-World. I could see a text to self connection because I had a dream that
I was buried alive just like when Coraline got trapped in the closet.

Write one wondering you had about your book. Tell and explain your hypothesis.
My wondering is: Why did the moms hand come off and started to crawl around like a spider? My hypothesis
was: maybe the mom is a real spider.

How did the literature circle deepen your understanding? What questions did other students ask
that got you thinking? The question that got me thinking was: what happened to the hand after it fell in the
well?

What were your group’s strengths?

Our group strength was: Talking together and asking questions.

What do you want to improve for next Literature Circle in January?

I would like to improve on: Remembering to bring my book and to do the worksheet.
