 Today we continued our group assignment. We are visually representing "The Rockpile" by James Baldwin. One of our group members wasn't here today so I don't know if he will finish his work outside of class. I didn't struggle with my part of the assignment, which was to find connections from the story to my life. 

I'm very tired today. After my swim practice yesterday I was extra tired and slow-moving. That in turn made me slow to eat dinner and do my homework. And that led me to go to bed way later than I anticipated.

Write about a book, poem, or article you’ve read that made you feel something deeply

  Prompt Response:   A book that made me feel deeply was "The Sunrise on the Reaping." The book made me feel sad. In the book, a previous character in past books was revealed to have a son. His son was put in the games as a way to punish him. I felt bad for him and his son Ampert who died of mutations that ate him alive. That was a moment in the book that really made me feel deeply sad. Summary:  Today in class we did a common lit assignment to help prepare us for the EOC.  Reflection: I thought that the practice was useful and I thought that the passage was interesting.

Choose one item from your "So Much Depends Upon" list and imagine it could talk

Prompt Response:  An item from my list was my swim goggles. It would tell about the hard practices we have been through. It would tell me about the way I treat it. That I should take better care of something I use every day. The goggles would talk about being in my swim bag for most of the time. How it is cramped and dark in there.  Summary: Today in class, we read a poem and started a presentation. Reflection: I liked the poem's theme that small things can be essential in someone's life.

How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on?

Prompt Response:  Usually, when I have a lot going on, it is because there are things I have planned and look forward to. But a busy day can still feel overwhelming and distract you from the little pleasures in life. Three things I do to enjoy the small things are to stop and take a deep breath outside and enjoy the weather and the outdoors, to be kind, and to always be grateful for everything.   Summary: Today in class, we had an assignment on NEWSela  Reflection: I thought the article had a good message to watch out for fake information and not believe everything you see online.
