Chris chooses independence over relationships. When have you chosen to be on your own instead of relying on others? What happened, and would you make the same choice again?

 Prompt Response: There was a time when I had a big history project due, and we were allowed to work in groups, but I chose to do it by myself. I thought it would be easier since I wouldn’t have to depend on anyone else or worry about people not doing their part. At first, it felt fine because I could organize everything the way I wanted, but as the deadline got closer, it became really stressful. I had to do all the research, slides, and writing on my own, and I stayed up late trying to finish everything. When I turned it in, I was proud that I did it alone, but I was also really tired and realized it was a lot to handle by myself. If I had to make that choice again, I think I would still want some independence, but I would probably work with at least one other person so the work isn’t so overwhelming.

Summary: Today in class we reviewed chapter 1-7 of Into the wild. 

Reflection: I read chapter 8 of Into the wild.

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. It felt cool. Then, I was on a tall mountain. I walked near the edge. I slipped and fell. I felt myself fall off my bed. I woke up fast. The fall made the dream feel so real. 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.
