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

 Prompt: Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths. 

Prompt Response: A time I felt connected to nature was when I went camping in the mountains and I woke up with the cold crisp air, a sunrise in the sky, and peace and quiet. I don't know how to explain it but it felt magical. Like I was one with my surroundings and I could feel and see and hear everything happening around me. I really took everything in and tried to be in the moment. I sometimes wish I could go back to that moment and enjoy it again. 

Summary: We took notes about Native American Literature. We also covered a brief background on Native American people. 

Reflection: I learned the difference between myths and urban legends, as well as how they are a part of Native American culture.

Think about the vocabulary words from Lesson Two. Write about a time you saw or heard one of these words outside of the classroom — maybe in a movie, song, social media post, or book. Describe how it was used and whether the context helped you understand the word better.

  Prompt Response:   I saw the word “brigand” in a book I was reading about adventures. It described a group of brigands who lived in the mountains and stole from travelers. From the story, I understood that a brigand is like a robber or thief. The way the author showed them attacking people made the meaning very clear. Seeing the word in the book helped me remember what it means. Summary: I did my part of the power point. Reflection: I learned new vocab words.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

  Prompt Response:  Something that makes me different from a lot of people is that I am tall. I'm not that tall but compared to the average person my age I am usually taller or as tall as them. I do not know why because my mom is not that tall. My dad is also not that tall but my brother is. Maybe those height genes skipped a generation because my moms dad is very tall. He is still taller than me and he is 80 something. He's very old.  Summary: Learning more about poems and how to analyze them. Reflection:  I learned about the complexities of Emily Dickinson poems.
