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: 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 Response:

The one thing I learned about myself was that I wasn't that bad into making some metaphors as I thought I was. I did somewhat decent coming up a few good ones and creating the smilies was pretty simple. I also learned that it was hard to think of stuff that other people might have said to me in a bad way, because I don't remember anything negative since I'm the one to ignore them and move on with my day. 

Summary:

Today we turned in our sheets from yesterday and began a new one, where we create our own similes and metaphors, six on both sides. One side was about overcoming (personal growth) and the other side with part 2 is about what others have said about you. We were supposed to be finished by the end of class, if not completed by then, the work can be done after school as long as it's done before class tomorrow. 

Reflection:

I already had written what I learned in the prompt response but I can reflect that I might not be the best creating the metaphors and similes in quick speed. I did an okay job and there's still room for improvement.

 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."

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...
