Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks and spending time with family over a nice dinner. Write about your most unforgettable meal.

  Prompt Response:  My most unforceful meal is the first thanksgiving I can remember.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

  Prompt Response:  A time that I was able to look out for myself was when I remembered that I hadn't checked my cars oil in a while. I used to have to because it would leak. There was almost no oil left and I was getting ready to go on a really long car ride. If I had not remembered to check the oil I could have ruined my car and racked up a large bill. Or even hurt someone. But I did remember so it was all ok, it's  a lot easier to deal with things when you remember to do them. Summary: I started my writable questions Reflection:  I learned about a story called "The Life You Save May Be Your Own".

Describe a time that you had an encounter with a homeless person, either directly or indirectly. What did you think and how did it make you feel?

The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

  Prompt Response:   I used to think one of my friends was just really quiet and didn’t want to talk to anyone. Then I found out she was dealing with some stuff at home, and it completely changed how I saw her. Suddenly her behavior made a lot more sense. After that, I understood she wasn’t being rude—she was just going through a hard time. Just like the ending of A Rose for Emily, that new info made me see the whole situation differently. Summary: We read a Faulkner story. Reflection:  I learned about more stories.

In “A Rose for Emily,” Miss Emily’s actions shock the reader—she kills her fiancé and keeps his body in her home for years. People often react with disbelief when they hear about real-life stories that seem just as unbelievable. Write about the most shocking or “craziest” news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

  Prompt Response:   One of the craziest news stories I ever heard was about a guy who lived in an airport for months because he was scared to go home. It stood out to me because it felt like something that would only happen in a movie. People were shocked and kind of confused about how his life ended up like that. The story showed how fear can make people do things you’d never expect. It also proved that people are always interested in weird situations that don’t happen every day. Summary: more reading stories Reflection:  Learned about more stories.

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.
