Twice a year we adjust our clocks for daylight saving time, but the change can affect our sleep, energy, and daily routines. Now that we have sprung forward; reflect on how this time change impacts you personally. Do you find it easy or difficult to adjust your schedule? Explain how the time change affects your mood, productivity, or daily habits.

 Prompt Response: Every year after we "fall back" and lose an hour, I find myself unable to wait until we can "spring forward" again. I think my mood improves dramatically when there is more sunlight present. With this, my productivity also increases and I feel it is much easier to get work done. Though I might be losing an hour of sleep, I am gaining a positive mood so the risk is small compared to the great reward.

Summary: Today, we read chapter 6 of 'Into the Wild'

Reflection: Today I learned how my surroundings affect my mood.

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.
