Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

Prompt Response: I wish I could unhear my favorite Taylor Swift album so I could listen to it again for the first time. My favorite  album is evermore which came out at the end of 2020. It is very acoustic and doesn't have any of the pop elements that most people know Swift for. I wish I could unhear it, not because I don't like it, but because I want to experience with fresh ears. There is nothing like the rush of listening to a new album from your favorite artist, and I think it would be cool to have that experience again with my favorite album.

Summary: Today in class we kept working on our Chapter 6 projects.

Reflection: I got better reading analysis and comprehension skills.

When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

Prompt Response:  A time in my life where something I believed in turned out to be different than I imagined was when I found out that Santa wasn't real. I never fully bought into the idea that one man could deliver presents to the entire world in just one night, and my parents didn't try all that hard to convince me of it, but I still remember feeling very conflicted on the topic. I would go back and forth, and at times believe wholeheartedly that Santa existed. However, I would still debate with my mom and try to convince her to admit that she was the one putting presents under the tree, and eventually she broke and told me Santa was just a made up character to make Christmas feel more magical for kids. I definitely wasn't that surprised or upset, but it helped me feel more grown up to know the truth and reminded me to trust my instincts when I know I'm being deceived.  Summary: Today in class we read letters 71 - 75 and wrote a found poem.

In "The Lamb" and "The Tyger", both poems suggest that beauty and danger can come from the same source. Describe a time when something or someone you admired also scared or challenged you. How did that experience change the way you see the world or the idea of “goodness”?

Prompt Response:  A time when something has been both positive and a challenge was when I took AP Calculus. I felt proud being one of a few juniors in a senior class and I found a lot of satisfaction in the content. However, I also felt a lot of pressure to prove myself. I was simultaneously excited to be in the class and fearful that my teacher would think I didn't deserve to be. This shows how an experience can be both exciting and nerve wracking depending on how you look at the situation. Summary: Today in class we read the poems "The Lamb" and "The Tyger" and started working on our one pagers. Reflection:  I got better poetry analysis skills and practice putting information into a one page format.

Write about something that you wish you had more of.

Prompt Response:  One thing I wish I had more of is time. I wish there was more time in the day to be able to balance my school work with my hobbies and passions. I always find myself listing off things I wish I could do more often like reading, sewing, drawing, hanging out with friends, cooking, baking, and spending time with family. When I do have free time, I'm so exhausted from school and day to day life that all I want to do is sit around and do nothing. And when I do have the energy, I overwhelm myself by multitasking, like eating lunch while drawing while listening to an audio book. I wish I had more time to fit all of these activities into my day while being able to give each the time and care they deserve. Summary: Today in class we finished working on our identity poems and posters. Reflection: I practiced my poetry writing and graphic design skills by working on my poster.
