Welcome, fellow readers.

Hey.  Welcome to our literature circle group's blog about the book,  "How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" by Julia Alvarez.  Here, we will be discussing certain passages in the book that caught our eye, and comment eachother's thoughts and ideas.  A blog is an easy, convenient, and well organized way to do this.

Our group has different roles, which we will keep in mind as we are reading the book:

Word Watcher- Monica.  The word watcher looks out for unfamiliar words or phrases, and brings it to the group's attention.

Illustrator/Connector- Michelle.  The job of the illustrator/connector is to find intriguing passages and post them on the blog, as well as making any connections that they can.

Illuminator/Summarizer-  Janet.  This person summarizes the assigned pages for that night. 

Discussion Director- Me, Angelina.  My job is to bring up important or interesting parts about what we had to read, and lead a discussion.

I hope you enjoy our blog (:
