March 10 - Twice a year we adjust our clocks for daylight saving time, but the change can affect our sleep, energy, and daily routines. Now that we have sprung forward; reflect on how this time change impacts you personally. Do you find it easy or difficult to adjust your schedule? Explain how the time change affects your mood, productivity, or daily habits.

Prompt Response: Personally, I find it harder to adjust when we lose an hour during the spring. The nights are a lot shorter so I'm never really sure when to sleep, especially when it's 8 PM outside and still really bright. The days always feel so much longer but I definitely feel more motivated than in the winter time. I feel like I get more time to do assignments now then I did before because I don't get as tired as fast anymore.

Summary: Today in class we read chapter 5 of Into the Wild and did a 3-2-1 assignment.

Reflection: Today in class I learned more about Chris McCandless' story.

August 11 - Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt Response: This summer, I spent almost my entire summer break at the beach. In June, I flew to Honduras and in July I went to Florida, but that's not the point. Every time we drove to the beach, I could feel my heart beating fast. Not because I was anxious, but because of the excitement rushing through my body. Walking on the sand felt like I was finally at peace and I could feel the cool summer breeze comforting me. When I felt the salty ocean water brush through my feet, I felt a connection to it. I could see the leaves of the palms dancing around as the wind blew on them. Whenever I laid on the sand, I felt the sun kiss my back, leaving it bronze. Being raised by the coast had created harmony between me, the beach, and its elements. By the time I realized it was time to leave, I could only hope to be able to stay longer or even visit again another time.  Summary: Today in class, we took notes on Native American literature. Reflection:  In class, I learned what the dif...

August 12 - Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

  Prompt Response: When I was little, I remember always wearing the same dress almost everywhere. I went to parties with it, I went out to eat with it, I even wore it at home just to be able to see myself in it. A lot of times people say that it's normal for little kids to carry an obsession with a strange item, but that dress was genuinely meaningful to me. I was mesmerized at how the vibrant shade of purple and pearly white blended so perfectly together. This dress wasn't just precious because of how pretty and puffy it was, but because of the memories it held. I wore it to a relative's graduation, I went to plenty of important dinner reservations, and other important events. In almost every picture I have, no matter the time, the occasion, and the place, I was always seen wearing the same dress. I say it carries a story because of how I only really wore it during special occasions. It can also tell the kind of kid I was, in a particular period, during my childhood. Summa...

December 17 - As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

Prompt Response:  As the first semester comes to an end, my knowledge in literature has grown a lot. I liked the poetry topic the most. Some poems are very deep and I've made many connections to them. So far, every project we've done has been very interesting and I have found them engaging. The presentation part of it isn't my favorite. The assignments are fun and easy. When we do them as a class, I get ideas and different opinions from others as well.The blog posts are also helpful. They help me think and analyze. Summary: Today in class we presented our final project. Reflection: Today I learned about other people's poems.
