Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

 Prompt Response: The guardian in my life that has been the most strict is my mom. I remember always being scared to ask her to hang out with my friends when I was younger because I feared that she would make me do chores before I went out. I also always made sure that I was home well before I was supposed to be, because if I wasn't, I would be grounded and I wouldn't be allowed to go out until the next day. I would also get my curfew shortened and I would have to do chores in order to gain my privileges of going outside back. I also remember my mom being very strict about me getting my chores done. If I didn't get them done, I had to do an extra chore the next day and I wouldn't be able to do anything fun until I got it done.

Summary: Today, we are working on our rockpile project.

Reflection: Today, I reflected on how strict my parents were when I was younger.

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).

  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.

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.
