Reading this book through the unit has improved on my prediction skills. I usually just read a book and let the plot run it's course, because I felt that it would be easier to just read about what happens next than seriously think about it. My group was fairly large, but we still had interesting conversations. Specifically the last meeting where I made connections to myself, other literacy, and the world was engaging since the connection we made to one thing connected immediately to something else. This improved my listening because I was able to understand other peoples' thought processes when I listened to them. I would like to further improve my visualizing skill, this does not include the actual visual arts (my drawing already suck more than a vacuum, and I have no interest in a career based on visual arts), I would like to improve how to connect visual art to literacy. Where some people see a magnificent piece of art that accurately displays the themes of a piece of literature, I see only what my eyes tell me.
