People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

 Prompt: A situation when I needed space from a group in order to gain a new perspective was when I did a different aau team than all of my friends. It made me realize I didn't like Basketball like that. I realized this because when I was by myself I couldn't push myself to do the work I needed to do. I also realized how much further along I would've came if I stuck to doing that though.

Summary: We read chapter two and answered questions about it.

Reflection: I learned about the themes of the book.

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.

 Prompt: A time I heard a word from lesson two outside of the classroom was when my teacher in 7th grade was talking about how the lands in Southeast Asia were arable. She used the word to show that you could plant crops on the land. The way she said it really made it easy to understand.  Summary: We worked on exercise 1, then did our blog post. Reflection: I learned the meaning of 15 new words.
