 Prompt: 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?

Response: Throughout the similes and metaphors that I've created, I discovered that I'm very resilient. Despite any challenges, I always pushed forward and tried to stay optimistic. One example of this was when I created the metaphor, "In the end, I am my own psychic reader who finds good within me.". This metaphor was about my self doubt and how eventually I always find good inside myself since I know myself best. I realized that I am more focused on my ideals and goals than I originally thought. From that, I also realized that I've shown growth in my capabilities from when I was younger. 


Summary: In class we wrote similes and metaphors about us, including our growths and struggles. 


Reflection: I reflected on how I can create metaphors or similes that describe me best.

  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.
