Write about a place you never wanted to leave.

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.

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
