In “Birches,” Robert Frost celebrates imagination as a way to escape life’s difficulties and reconnect with innocence. The speaker wishes to “get away from earth awhile” but also understands that he must eventually return to reality. Think about the role of imagination in your own life. How does imagination help you cope with challenges, boredom, or stress?


 Prompt Response: Imagination helps me cope with both boredom and challenges in my life. Sometimes when I am feeling bored in class, I imagine myself out in the world traveling and being able to feel nature around. Sometime I imagine a very successful version of me that has clear goals, and friends that support her. When there are difficulties in my life, I imagine the reason as to why it it happening and how what it is going to teach me. Maybe saying stuff like "so that why that thing happen" with a smile of relief because I've got a meaning in it. Imagination helps me picture solutions or outcomes in a fun way which gives me hope and creativity in my life. It adds color and fun in my life. 

Summary: Today we worked on some analytical questions for ¨Out Out¨ and analyzed and discussed the poem “Birches,” Robert Frost, as well as started a Powerpoint presentation based on the poem. 

Reflection: I will think about my childhood memories for the presentation.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

Prompt Response:  If I could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, I would go to my home country. I would take my family that lives in the U.S  to visit the rest of our family. I would bring a lot of gifts for everyone and valuable knowledge that could help with their daily life. Once I am there, I would spend my time having fun and reliving childhood memories. I would look into what I was like growing, what I liked, and my baby pictures. I would want to hear stories from my grandparents and my aunt and uncles to get to know them better. I would also buy many things for them and make sure they travel around our country like taking them to the beach or go see the Maya pyramid. This is what I would if I had no limitations over the break although it's too short.  Summary: I didn't have his class today  Reflection:  I finished the blog post

Describe a real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship you experienced.

 Promt response: Since we started school, my best friend has a friend which she talks to every time she sees her more than me. Whenever I do the same or show more friendliness to my other friends, she questions why I act that way, so in return, I ask her the same thing but with her friend. I was questioning who her best friend was because since we met we had a strong connection with each other. We both realized that if we get jealous over situations like that, then our bond could break. We don't want that, so we are making our bond even stronger now and trust that our bond is stronger than jealousy. Summary: Today we read and discussed The Jealous Father and worked on a project about it.   Reflection:  The Jealous Father made me think how jealousy can make you do unthinkable actions to people who are close to you. I realize that action with jealousy can break and hurt the people involved.

If you had to write a poem about your life RIGHT NOW, what would it be about? Explain your answer in at least 4 to 5 sentences.

  Prompt Response:   If I had to write a poem right now, I would write about possibilities in the future. I have many things I like and find interesting, and I can't seem to decide on what I want to commit to. I am afraid I might choose the wrong path that won't take me anywhere. I feel a sense of urgency to figure out what I will do in the future, so I want to try things I am already good at.   Summary: Today we took notes on how to write a rhetorical analysis. Reflection:  I took good notes and did the blog post.
