Write about the best gift you have received.

Prompt Response:  The best gift I ever received was a phone. I never had a phone until high school. Growing up and seeing people with phones especially my friends made me feel excluded. But on my 14th birthday, I received a phone and it was the best gift. I finally was able to connect with friends and have a tool of communication, and a device that I use daily. 

Summary: Today we had questions on chapters 6-7 of "A Lesson Before Dying" after reading it. 

Reflection: I like chapters 6-7; the questions were short and simple.

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.
