 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.
