Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

   Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time). Prompt Response:  The topic that challenged me the most was the pressure to succeed because I realized that I was the one putting too much pressure and expectations, instead of others pressuring me. That made me realize that I may be too hard on myself and that I shouldn't. I should take it slow and steady, not fast because when I learn to do that I won't be so stressed.  Summary: Today we went over our similes and metaphors and started creating a poster in Adobe Express. Reflection:  I will finish my poster before class.

Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. In a well-developed paragraph, reflect on the process. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

Prompt Response:  While writing the similes and metaphors, I realized that I had a difficult time to think of situations that related to the topic. When the topic was about what other said about me, I couldn't think of a situation. For example, the topic of doubt and criticism, the only thing that came to mind was MY self doubt, instead of what others have said. The most important part of this assignment was learning that I am surrounded by good and inspiring friends that always have positive energy, but that I shouldn't be too hard on myself. Summary : Today we started a new assignment about making similes and metaphors about ourselves.  Reflection:  I will finish the assignment

Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you. You may also discuss something new you tried, something you learned, or how the break helped you reset before returning to school. Keep your response appropriate for a school setting and focus on experiences you are comfortable sharing publicly image.png

Prompt Response:  During the break I went to church, pack to move, cooked, and went to the park. One of the moments that stood out to me was going to church because the message the pastor gave was very inspirational. The break made me reflect that I missed talking to friends and being around them. I also realized how much I really enjoy creating, fixing, and helping others.  Summary: Today we read and analyzed a poem. Reflection:  I finished interpreting the similes and metaphors in the poem.

If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

Prompt Response:  I would choose gifts, kind notes, and camera to show my love for the people I care about. I love making gifts for others and finding things that make me remember them. I also like writing nice things about them to remind them how special they are to me and because I tend to be shy to say it out aloud. Finally, I would choose a camera to take pictures of them and remember the happy memories. I feel these objects show how I tend to show my love through mostly small actions that make the other person feel special to me and show how considerate and thoughtful I am.  Summary: Today we wrote a poem to someone we care and love about. Reflection:   I finished my poem.

Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Prompt Response:  One step of the rhetorical analysis that  made me understand the process more clearly is the body paragraph because I learned what the topic sentence should have and the what the evidence and commentary should look like.

I learned to add more transition words to connect my sentences better.  Summary: Today we went step by step on how to write a rhetorical analysis essay.  Reflection:  I will finish filling out the graphic organizer before Thursday.

What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

Prompt Response:  The most challenging part of working in a group is to communicate properly. In my engineering class we were given the task of completing a cardboard chair. I wasn't there that day, so my teacher put me with a group of students I didn't know. I led the group and I tried to ask them for their ideas or suggestions, but they didn't contribute any.
