What is your American Dream? What do you like most about America?

Prompt Response: My American dream is the opportunity to build the life I want. I don't know what I want in the future, but I want the opportunity to pursue and make it happen. I like that America has rights and opportunities that most don't. I also like that it is a place of opportunities and that the bottom can still be successful. 

Summary: Today in class, we studied Langston Hughes's "Let America Be America Again." After the lesson, we started a project on the American dream. 

Reflection: I thought it was cool talking about the American dream and what we thought it was.

Prompt Response:  When I shop, I don't look where the product was made. It doesn't matter to me where a product is made as long as the quality of the product is great.

Who is the best cook in your family?

Prompt Response:  My mom is the best cook in my family. She has been cooking for a long time and everything she makes is amazing. She can try to cook something once, fail, and the next time she tries it, it's perfect. A meal that I really love is her pork buns. They are really tasty and I can bring them for a lunch or have them at the house to eat. They are really good and one of my favorites.  Summary: Today in class we finished our cultural food posters Reflection:  I liked having a work period to finish my class work instead of going home and finishing it.

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.
