Lit circle Discussion

1. How your groups discussion helped you better understand the novel. Write about of some of the key ideas from the novel that your group discussed and how these were important to the plot of the story.
The group discussion helped me better understand the novel by discussing what my opinions and the other student's opinions. The key ideas from novel that my group discussed about was questions. We talked about how brian will manage himself to survive in a forest with his hatchet.


2. What predictions do you have for the rest of the novel.
My prediction for this novel is that Brian will survive this journey in the Canadian forest. I predicted like this because with an hatchet Brian can protect him and gather food. Also one of the reason I thought was that he could climb up the mountains and predict where he was and he can walk to the nearest towns or cities that were close to him.

Fire Fly Field Trib

 In school we went to see fire flies to Place called Kuala selanga
We went to plant mangroves, hiking, zoo and going around Kuala Selanga's historical places  but my favorite part of this trip was planting a mangrove trees we had to hike to mangrove planting site with our boots. During the way to mangrove plating site I saw monital lizard, giant mud skipper, birds and some monkeys. Mrs Nadaraj's boots were taken by monkeys so she didn't go into the mud. When me and all the 6Bs were arrived to the site we took off our shoes and wore socks and boots. When we went into the mud I saw mud skippers and different colors of crabs. It was amazing. I had to work deep in to the mud to plant mangrove trees the mud was leaking into my boots it felt sick. When I decided my planting spot I first made a hole that was size of my mangrove tree's root with a big stick (I knocked the mud three times). Then I pulled of the plastic pocket from mangrove tree my hands were all muddy so I had to take Mr Sheflin's help. After I pulled the plastic I squashed mangrove tree into the hole gently and filled the mud in extra space. Finally I tied the mangrove tree on the bamboo stick. When I finished to plant the mangrove tree I felt proud of my self. During the way back to the ground Rosee pushed me and I fall on the mud. I was stuck and my friend had to dig out the mud so that I could move. Even though my friends dig out the hole one of my boot came off and I had to go back to ground with no shoes it felt like I was stepping on my own droppings. But when I came out from the mud I felt awesome I don't know if its because that I planted mangrove tree or because of getting out of the mud. Even though I was tired I felt really excited.

A time that I had to be courage

A time that i had to be courage was when I was only 8 years old.
I got a shiny and professional bicycle which I really  from some celebration. one day my parents told me that I had to donate the bicycle who is very poor but I didn't wanted give my bicycle away so I said no. But my mom told me to think again and tell her my decision next day.

At the bed I thought about donating my bicycle to someone that I don't even know.  I was really nervous about donating my bicycle but I made a courageous decision. The decision was to donate my bicycle to other people because I felt like I was a selfish. Next morning I told my parents about donating my bicycle. My parents were surprised and also I  was surprised about my courageous decision.

When I came back from my school I realized that my bicycle was gone at that point, I felt little sad but I felt really happy and glad about my courageous decision. After few days passed, my parents told me that they have a good news for me. I asked them what the good news was. They told me that there is a new bicycle for me. Before my parents finish their word I ran out side to check if there is a new bike for me it was true I screamed in happiness. At that moment I learned that if you make a brave decision you will get better things.

What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early humans?

There are many drawings of animals such as a bison, bull and horses running around. I think they drew this because they warship the animals. The scientists thinks that they drew the nature, hunting to remember the scene.

my hypothises is that they drew the pictures to remember the day or to warn something. For example there were a lot of foot prints of kids around the bison sculpture so that makes me think that there was a big ceremony about the kids turning into a adult was held around the sculpture. For the paints and spear thrower's top, there is a shape or paints of animals such as a bison, horses and some elephants I think they warship the animals because they might thought that the animals will protect them because the animals were strong and big.

I think this is all I can think of.
