Prompt: People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

 Prompt: Last summer in St. Augustine, I felt overwhelmed by the constant noise of my family vacation. I decided to take a long walk alone on the beach to clear my head. This short distance helped me realize that I value my independence and quiet time. I learned that I think more clearly when I am not trying to please everyone around me. Taking that break taught me that I love my family but still need space to be myself. Summary:  Today in class we read chapters 2 and 3 of Into the Wild. Reflection: I learned what the amygdala was in your brain.

Prompt: After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 Prompt: Based on the first chapter, McCandless did not seem to understand the true risks of the Alaskan wilderness. He entered the woods with very little food and a rifle that was too small for big animals. He also ignored Jim Gallien’s warnings about how dangerous the environment could be during that time of year. McCandless lacked a good map and proper gear, which showed he was not prepared for the terrain. His confidence seemed more like a lack of experience than a real understanding of the danger. Summary: Today in class we started reading Into the Wind. Reflection: I learned how stupid backpackers can be.

Prompt: Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

 Prompt: Creating my digital card for the word toady helped me understand its meaning through design. The easiest part was defining the word because I have seen people act like sycophants before. Finding the right image was the most challenging part since I wanted to show fake flattery clearly. Writing a sentence about a toady complimenting a boss made the definition feel more realistic. Using Adobe Express combined words and pictures to make the vocabulary much easier to remember. Summary: We created vocabulary cards in adobe express. Reflection: I learned what toady meant.

Prompt: After viewing your classmates’ digital posters and reading the feedback comments left on your work, what new ideas or perspectives did you gain about your poster? Reflect on how the feedback influenced the way you think about your creative choices and describe what you learned about the creative process while designing and presenting your poster.

 Prompt : Reviewing the digital posters of my classmates gave me many fresh ideas for my own design. I realized that my creative choices could be improved by using more vibrant colors and clearer fonts. Reading the feedback comments helped me understand how others perceived my message and layout. It is often a challenge to see my own work objectively until someone else offers a new perspective. Summary: Today in class we just commented on other peoples posters. Reflection: I learned I need to slow down way more on the highway.

Prompt: Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

 Prompt: The simile and metaphor worksheet was an interesting way to practice my writing skills. I found creating metaphors to be the most challenging part of the entire assignment. It is difficult to compare two things directly without using the words like or as. I had to think carefully to ensure the relationship between the objects stayed clear to the reader. Next time, I will brainstorm more descriptive nouns to make the connections feel more natural. Summary: We started our project. Reflection: I learned all the tricks on adobe express.

Prompt: Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. In a well-developed paragraph, reflect on the process. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

 Prompt:  Something I have realized about myself is that I can create many similes about my life. I learned more about the difference between similes and Metaphors. At first I couldn't tell the difference. I never understood comparing 2 things without using like or as. It was just so much simpler. Now I have seen many examples and it is more understanding of me on this subject. Summary: We completed a work sheet making our own similes and metaphors. Reflection: I learned how to perfect metaphors.

 Prompt: I recently took a trip to Athens, Georgia, to explore the city. I spent my time walking around the historic downtown area and visiting local shops. One highlight was seeing the beautiful campus of the University of Georgia, which was full of energy. I also enjoyed trying a few famous local restaurants that had great food. The trip was a perfect way to relax and see a new place before school started again. Summary: we read rising in my own words by Maya Angelou. Reflection: I learned i need to go to bed earlier.
