   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.

I feel that they not only build character but also gives people a reason to appreciate life. near death experiences might reveal the journey you want to make during life or the journey you will take after death.  Summary : Today in class we read an article about Near Death Experiences, how they are caused and how they affect someones life. After reading the article we brainstormed topics to write about the related prompt we were given. We then wrote a thesis using the topics.  Reflection: From this lesson I learned how to come up with a thesis using a cluster chart, and how to correctly analyze a long article to begin writing a essay.

  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
