 Prompt: What is the most challenging part of writing an essay for you? Is it brainstorming, organizing ideas, writing a strong thesis, or something else? How do you plan to overcome this challenge?

Reflection: Personally, explaining ideas can be the most challenging part of writing an essay. I have a lot of ideas and although I'm decent at organizing them, I feel like I'm not thorough with explanations. To be specific, I struggle with being detailed and breaking down concepts. To help with this, I work on my phrasing and I try to understand the point I want to get across. Overall, writing essays is not difficult for me but this is the one thing I struggle with occasionally. 


Summary: In class we constructed a rhetorical analysis body paragraph.


Reflection: I reflected on how I can use transition words better.

My digital camera is also important so that I can still have a hobby and so I can make money by taking photos for people. The hardest thing for me to leave behind would be my bedroom. My bedroom is highly decorated and has been a safe place for me for years so it would be hard to miss that comfort and seeing all of my interest in one room.  Summary:  In class we did an assignment on Writable over ...

Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

  Prompt:  Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss. Response: Something that I've outgrown but still miss was having Kona Ice trucks come to school. Back in elementary school through 6th grade, I remember having Kona Ice trucks come and visit our school to sell snow cones. They would typically come to our school during events like field day. Whenever they came around, it was a big deal among students. I loved the snow cones and thinking back on it, it was very nostalgic and memorable for me.  Summary: We worked on an assignment about a poem from Langston Hughes. Reflection: I reflected on the different civil liberties used today.
