Think about how you have searched for information in the past compared to what you practiced today. How is creating specific search phrases different from just “Googling” a topic? Explain how this strategy will improve the quality of your research.

 Prompt Response: Transitioning from simply "Googling" broad topics to using specific search phrases is like trading a floodlight for a laser pointer. When you just type a vague idea into a search engine, you cast a massive net and are immediately overwhelmed with millions of results, forcing you to sift through irrelevant blogs, opinion pieces, and clickbait just to find a single credible fact. However, by using targeted keywords, exact match quotes, and specific terminology, you instantly filter out that digital noise. This strategy drastically improves the quality of your research because it actively bypasses low-quality content, immediately surfaces highly credible and specialized sources, and saves you hours of scrolling so you can focus on actually analyzing the data rather than just hunting for it.

Summary: Worked on the project

Reflection: Did a group phase.

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.
