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?

 Prompt Response: One time that I had an encounter with a homeless person was when I was in the car. Me and my mom were stopped at a red light and we had just gotten fast food. We had gotten an extra burger or an extra set of fries in our order and were on the way home when we noticed him. He was standing on the side of the road in dark, rugged clothes and a shabby beard. He looked a bit rough and started walking down the line of cars holding a sign that said "homeless". We watched him as he went from car to car, slowly making his way closer to ours. When he stopped at our car to ask for money, we gave him our extra food and he was very grateful. I was glad to help him and it made me feel good to know that he had access to food. 

Summary: Today we read the short story "The life you save may be your own."

Reflection:  Today we started on a writable assignment.

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:  One thing that I have enjoyed the most was bettering connections with my friends. This has allowed me to have a closer-knit group of people in this class and also insight on who I can rely on. One of my favorite topics that we have done in that class, and the thing that I have connected the most with was poetry. I have found it so fascinating on how these authors have described their perspective of the world, with such precise description and vocabulary. Summary: Today I have my 7th period final. Reflection:   Today I learned that I should study more for the subjects I am not the strongest in.

Describe a time when you took a hiatus from something important. What led to the break, and how did it impact you?

After viewing your classmates’ digital posters and reading the feedback comments left on your work, what new ideas or perspectives did you gain about your poster? Reflect on how the feedback influenced the way you think about your creative choices and describe what you learned about the creative process while designing and presenting your poster.

  Prompt Response:  I gained the perspective that my work followed a specific "theme". I then saw how all the images and background correlated with each other, as well as how every image, for the most part, was the same color and style. What I learned from the creative process of writing my poster was that once I have an idea or a clear vision of what I am going to do, I can execute it effortlessly. Summary: Today we reviewed our classmate's posters and gave them positive feedback in their comments. Reflection:  Today I learned about the artistic choices within my poster.
