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?

 Prompt Response: I honestly didn't learn that much from the project. A lot of my devices were surface level and the others were pretty generic. I mostly wrote about stuff that I already knew. Some of the stuff I'm not sure if it was true or not yet so that could kind of apply to learning something new. I think that I would need to spend more time on the assignment to learn something new about myself.

Summary: We wrote similes and metaphors 

Reflection: It was pretty easy although the metaphors took a bit longer.

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.
