In the spirit of Valentine’s Day week, describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about (a friend, family member, or significant person in your life).

 Prompt: In the spirit of Valentine’s Day week, describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about (a friend, family member, or significant person in your life).

Prompt Response:

For Valentines day, I really wanted to go out with my friend, unfortunately I do not think she will be able to. This will be the billionth time when she is barely allowed to go outside with friends, it gets really lonely on my part. If things work out, I plan to give her my gift and maybe go to a roller skating rink, park, bookstore, or any other store to eye shop at. It can also just be a simple hang out at my house, I just like hanging out with her.

Summary:

Today we looked over the prompt about Barack Obama's Primary Concession Speech, and filled in information on the Rhetorical Analysis Planning Guide. We only managed to complete step one and two, we were supposed to read the passage and annotate for rhetorical appeals, devices, and choices. 

Reflection:

I can reflect that I understood what we were doing and that it was easy to understand Obama's speech, I wasn't fast and pro like Mr. Rease to spot them all but it was nice to see how the devices were used and it helps me gain some experience.

 Prompt:   As we think about our upcoming Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it. Prompt Response: My favorite word right now is 'son', I do not have a son but I use this word a lot to call people that when I'm playing games and it's what I call my friend from time to time. I would usually say "Good job son" or "I'm proud of you son" whenever my friend accomplishes something. I do not know why it is my favorite word, just that it sounds nice and it's funny when they respond "thank you father." My friend even decided to say it back to me sometimes and this other person that we play with, she says it in Spanish too, "Okay Mijo." Summary: Today we continued to work on our projects, we were given the whole class and were told to turn in the project during the weekend right before Monday.

As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

 Prompt:  As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?  Prompt Response: I am having trouble trying to think of an answer for this prompt, I am sure there are plenty of things I can argue with my family but I am not entirely sure what type of topic I will be needing to argue about as I grow. I think there is something that I will need to keep stating to people, that I do not plan to have kids any time soon or marry any person. I really want to live for myself and have fun with friends rather than settle down into a family while I can go out and explore. If I were to marry, I'd expect us to switch roles in cooking and cleaning or going to work rather than me staying at home and they go to work like how my mom suggests it. Summary: Today was a block day, we went over new notes this time about claim and continued on the previous notes from yesterday about ...

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 Prompt:  After reading  “Out, Out—”  by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome? Prompt Response: I don't think I've ever faced a dangerous situation in life, besides driving. Huddle up people, so during the summer my mom thought it was best to teach me how to drive all around, she even had me drive on highways. There's probably a chance we faced danger everyday since I almost crashed every single day, every one of those days I had to immediately focus. One day we were driving peacefully down a long road, I noticed from afar there was a car trying to cross the road to the next and I didn't think they would cross yet because they wouldn't have time. Passing through with a good amount of speed, I looked to my right toward my mom and saw the car inches from my car and I immediately pressed down the pedal to a...
