Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

 Prompt response : A time I felt connected to nature is whenever I go camping.

Summary: Today in class we looked at our vocab words and Native American culture and what type of stories they told.

Reflection: I learned many different new words, such as the definition of a myth. I also learned what Native American stories were mainly about, it seems like they told a lot of stories that were based on true things that happened but then they evolved into something more fictional. This impacted me by helping me learn now things about the Native American culture and giving me new information to study for the vocab test we have due in two weeks. I will use this knowledge to help better my vocabulary and knowledge about Native American and their way of life.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt: One thing that makes me feel different is hanging out with family and friends. I also enjoy playing sports or other hobby's I have. But, it's always the best to get to hang out with some of the people who I know care about me. I find happiness in being with the people who love me and building more and more memories over time with these people is something that makes me feel different. Summary: I was absent but we did an identifying theme worksheet. Reflection: I learned how to identify better than I was before.

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 Prompt: A time someone’s words stuck with me was when my dad said, “Always double check your work carefully; small mistakes will upset you.” I had been careless on a math assignment and got a lower grade than I expected. Since then, I’ve been more careful and double-check my work before turning it in always. Summary: Today in class we continued to write our argumentative paragraph on ambush. Reflection: I got better at writing in formal language.

Everyone has burning questions about life. Mysteries we wonder about but don’t always have clear answers for. Think about your biggest questions about existence, purpose, or the world around you. Write a blog post where you share at least two of your most burning questions about life and explain why these questions matter to you.

 Prompt: Two of my biggest questions in life are how were people really created, and why is it human nature to be violent/ start wars. These questions matter to me because I feel like knowing how/ why the human population was created would raise so many more questions about religion and evolution. Why people fight so much and do such horrible things to each other such as killings, racism, and wars all over is an important question to me because I do not understand why people have to treat others less than themselves. If people could just be nice and not so selfish then the world would be such a better place. This would help solve so many other problems quicker such as cancer or global warming because no one country would have to worry about another bombing them. Summary: In class today we worked on creating our own origin myth. Reflection: I learned more about my writing style, it was fun to be creative and make my own myth about how the world came to be.
