 Prompt: 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? 


Response: I personally use my imagination through my art and fashion sense. It's something I'm passionate about and it's a relaxing activity for me. Usually it's something I like to think about or do when I'm stressed. Although I love those two things, I reconnect with reality and set my priorities. I know when I need to put my work and needs first vs my wants. Sometimes I like to use my imagination in my work as a balance, but I don't use my imagination all the time. 


Summary: We started to read the poem "Birches", written by Robert Frost, which is about childhood. 


Reflection: I reflected on the things I did for fun as a kid.

  Prompt:  How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning. Response: I feel like the importance of holidays has lessened for me over the years. As a kid, holidays were more exciting and it felt more lively. As I grew older, I found there are less things to look forward to. Most holidays, such as Easter, me and my family don't celebrate anymore because I am older now. Although, I think that the core values of family has still remained the same. Summary: In class we learned new vocabulary from lesson 6. Reflection:  I thought about how I can memorize these words.

  Prompt:  Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time. Response: During Thanksgiving, I wanted to make mac n cheese for dinner. We held a small Thanksgiving dinner with my oldest sister. Baked mac n cheese is one of my favorite dishes so I wanted to include that into the dinner. I was very proud with how it turned out and I even used sourdough bread as the breading on top. That dish was the most memorable thing because it was really good and it's a recipe that I'll make again. My family liked it as well. Summary: In class we reviewed new vocabulary.  Reflection: I reflected on how I can memorize all of the vocab we learned.
