   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.

Gaines, called A lesson before dying. We read the first chapter in class and honestly it is kind of interesting reading about the life of a black man and the characters in 1963.   Reflection : From today's lesson I learned how to following along with an audio reading while looking at the novel, then after breaking the story down to find theme's and lesson's from the novel that can ...

Prompt Response : One of my most special holiday memories , is maybe when my family went to a trip to Tennesses.
