   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.

Prompt Response : Moving from my home town has always been a difficult thing for me to handle. As a kid i loved Alabama, it was somewhere i felt safe, somewhere i could do what I wanted and not have to feel suffocated by negative energy. I did not want to leave my family to create a new one with my mom and her boyfriend. Then as I grew older I realized how good of a decision it was. I realize that Alabama was so small and had nothing benefiting my life. Now I am open to many more opportunities.   Summary : Today in class we worked on a one pager, for the Ambush story that we all read on Monday.  Reflection : I learned from today's class how to successfully read and find the quotes, context for themes and vocab words as well. Writing the prompt also gave me a chance to think about my life and how it has expanded throughout the years.
