In the poem, the speaker and his neighbor meet each year to repair a wall. Describe a time when you had to set or respect a boundary with a friend, family member, or classmate. How did it help or hurt your connection with that person?

 Prompt: A time I had to set a boundary with a family member was when I had to tell my mother to stop bursting into my room. After this she started knocking on my door twice before coming in. I really appreciated her for making that change. It helped our connection because she learned not to be in my business too much. 

Summary: d Today we did a commonlit, then we did a blog post.

Reflection: Learned more about compromise through a poem.

Words shape how we think, write, and interpret literature. Think about a time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped you better analyze a text, express an idea, or make your writing stronger.

He was screaming in a public store, and I got him to calm down by fully expressing idea. Even after this imbecile has been a very useful word to me. Summary: In class, we worked on three exercises about 15  new words. Reflection: I learned 15 new words today.

If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

 prompt: If I could describe how I show love using only three objects I would use a gift, a playlist, and a long text message. I would say a gift because I show love through giving gifts. I would say a playlist because I listen to a lot of songs that reflect how I feel about someone. I would say a long text message because I send long text messages to articulate myself to other people. Summary: We wrote a poem for loved ones. Reflection: I learned about appreciating my loves more.

Think about the vocabulary words from Lesson Two. Write about a time you saw or heard one of these words outside of the classroom — maybe in a movie, song, social media post, or book. Describe how it was used and whether the context helped you understand the word better.
