In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

Prompt Response: I chose  a party over studying, thinking it was cool because my friends were there. But my bad test grade showed me it wasn't a smart choice. I learned that having fun and being responsible need to go together. Being cool means being disciplined, not just following others. I started to care more about doing well and growing myself.

Summary:  Today in class I started a new assignment.

Reflection:  I learned about new study material.

Write about a dream that felt real.

  Prompt Response:   One dream that felt real to me was my traveling adventure. I remember dreaming that I was exploring the world. I started at a pretty beach. I was playing in the water.

Summary: Today in class we wrote lesson 3 vocabulary with a sentence and did a  NewELA- Cancel Culture. Reflection: I learned about new vocabulary.

As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

Prompt Response:   As the first semester comes to an end, I can honestly say I’ve grown a lot in this class. What I enjoyed most was getting to read different types of poems and discussions about new things related to the real worlds. The assignment I found most engaging was the cultural Mask projects because they helped me express my thoughts, become more confident in my ethnicity and get to know all my classmates more. I connected the most with the poems analyzing and writing bloggers since I liked analyzing characters. Moving into the spring semester, I think I need to work on improving my grammar and writing essays and thesis so my writing can be clearer and stronger.

As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family, or society?

  Prompt Response:   As we age, a big conversation will be the balance between technology and human connection. It's about how all the new tech affects our relationships. For example, social media can link us up but sometimes makes us feel alone. AI at work is super efficient, but we need to think about human jobs. We'll discuss if tech helps or hurts real, face-to-face time. The main point is making sure technology helps our connections, not hurts them. Summary: Today in class we learn about three literary forms of writing. Reflection: I learned about how to start writing an essay.
