Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

-

 Prompt Response : I think one moment I had to step out of my comfort zone was when I went with my cousin to his farm to ride the horses. I was scared because it was my first time and the horse was way bigger than me and i was afraid of getting hurt. When i was on it at first it wasn't so bad, then he started to pick up speed, and that's when i started to feel my heart beat faster. This was one of the most heart aching things i did but i was glad i did because it was fun in the end. 

Summary : Today in class we continued with A lesson before dying, reading chapters 10 - 11 then answering the discussion questions connected to the chapters. We also had to write a letter of advice in the perspective of Grant for an advice column on how it is working with Jefferson. 

Reflection : From this I learned how to efficiently answer questions and find evidence connected to a story, I also learned how to correctly write a letter in the perspective of another

  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.

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.

 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.
