You are currently working on a soundtrack for selected Emily Dickinson poems. With that in mind, if asked to choose a song to describe your life right now, which song would you select and why?

 Prompt: If I had to pick a song to describe my life right now, I would choose Ain't life Grand" by Widespread Panic. Because the song reflects how even the small, simple moments can feel meaningful. It fits my life because I’m balancing challenges such as school, sports, and work with good times. The lyrics remind me to step back and see that not everything is perfect but we need to appreciate life for what it is.

Summary: Today in class we took a test on analyzing Emily Dickinson poems. 

Reflection: I did a lot better than I thought I would not the test, very happy with my score.

Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

 Prompt: One time I paused to appreciate nature was after a light rain while walking my dogs. The streets were shiny, the air felt fresh, and I could hear the soft dripping of water from the trees, but it the sun started to shine through.

Summary: Today we annotated a poem and started our one pager. Reflection: I improved my skills on annotating poetry.

reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 Prompt: One time I faced a risky situation was when I was learning to drive on a busy road. Cars were flying by, and I had to stay completely focused to avoid an accident. I kept my eyes on the road and followed every direction carefully. My focus helped me stay calm and safe, and it showed me how quickly things can go wrong if you lose concentration. Just like in Robert Frost’s poem. Summary: Today in class we went over the poem "Out, Out" by Robert Frost and annotated it. Reflection: I learned more about Robert Frost and got to analyze one of his pieces of poetry that I had never read before.
