 Today in class we did an individual activity, we had to complete lesson one practice for a vocab test in September.   From this lesson i learned new words that i can look back on and use in the future if needed. Learning these words will help me on my vocab test and if i study then enough, i will pass my test. From these words i learned ways to use them in a sentence and use them in ways I didn't know i really could.    I liked this lesson because it was something new. Some of the words I look over I didn´t even know i am happy to know them now.

 Today in class we took notes on the poem, ¨ Heart ! We will forget him ! ". This is another Emily Dickinson poem that we analyzed and broke down. Then we completed an activity to go with it, we had to draw things that represented both the mind and the heart then describe the two.     I learned from this lesson that having a healthy relationship is important and being able to start over is okay. I learned that it is hard to get over a person you loved, but if you keep trying and trying then you may forget the love you still had for that person. In class today it was kind of like learning a life lesson and then learning how to get over it and remain positive.  I liked today ´ s lesson because it was kind of like learning about life and how relationships can impact my life more than i think, but if i learn to get over it and continue doing what makes me happy i will be fine.

  Today in class we had an individual task or activity. We were told to create a visual representation of each of the vocab words we were given. There were 15 words total, and we had to write the definition and describe it. We started lesson one of the vocab today as well.     What i learned from today ´ s lesson is new words that i did not know, and i learned how to find a correct visual description and show how it represents the definition and word. This will help me better my word choice and my vocab for future tasks and essays. This can also better my school work in other classes as well as real life experiences.    I did enjoy this activity because it allowed me to think and focus on the task at hand.   My day is going fine so far, nothing major has happened so far.

  Today in class we took a test on origin myths, basically to wrap up what we learned within the first unit. Then after we were able to work on the presentations if we did not finish something.   While taking this test, I was able to notice and realize things i may have not known and some things that could refresh my memory. This test did indeed have some challenging questions but what made it easier was me being able to go back and re-read or being able to refer in my head to earlier times to see if i maybe remember something. This test and the lessons that I learned this unit can even help me with maybe future activity´s etc.      I liked the task for today because it was really chill and quiet. I was able to get work done for another class and finish my groups presentation.

  Today in class we did an activity where we got into groups to start a reading called The Jealous Father. We were given an individual task to complete, after that we all had to make a visual presentation combined with all of our tasks. My task was the cultural values reflected in the story.    From this lesson I learned that it is not right to have sexual relations with step partner, and that parents to can also be jealous of their child.    I liked this lesson because I got to talk and make new conversations with people in my class and the story was good once we talked about it more

   Today in class Mr.Rease was not here so we had a sub, we were assigned a News-ela about an origin myth.  From this News-ela I learned about how the Iroquios believe the world came about, and I also learned about how different they tell their stories just by reading this one. This origin myth also showed me a little about the culture of the native Americans and how they lived. I now realize the importance of religion and culture, how much it can change and show the different qualities of a person. I can begin to appreciate my religion more and realize how much it can impact me. I plan to later study origin myths and find out more significant purpose in them.  I liked the cultural spotlight this lesson gives on native Americans and their story telling.  So far my day is going good, kind of normal for the most part. I am looking forward to going to sleep though.
