Which learning method do you enjoy the most? Class discussions, worksheet work, or hands-on actvities. Select one and tell why.

 Response: I  probably prefer worksheet work the most to help me learn. Worksheets are concise and very direct when learning in class. I am also a fan of that organization structure and I find it a lot easier to break down learning in that way. I personally prefer independent work or following along to notes and such as a class. I usually work best when working on it by myself so I can figure it out without clutter. I find writing/typing to help me memorize and I am able to go back and review my notes whenever.

Summary: We worked on our poem posters.

Reflection: This poster had me think over my poem more. When I had first made it I hadnt really thought about theme and related images so the poster let me more fully realize what I was writing.

How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day

 Response: When I have a lot going on I find time to enjoy my day in the small transitions of time like in the mornings or before bed and such. One thing I do to enjoy my everyday is by treasuring the time I get with my friends, they are a main source of joy, especially during school whenever I see them. Second I take a long shower every day, I find that after Ive been really stressed a good shower at the end of the day always makes me feel better. Lastly, I listen to music whenever I can, I find it really relaxing and makes me feel more in control of my life. Summary: We finished our Ambush paragraph. Reflection: I thought this was a really challenging practice. I was able to grow my skills at argumentative writing and taking a more clear stance on things.

In “I, Too,” the speaker expresses pride in his identity and his rightful place in America. Reflect on your own life: What aspect of your cultural identity are you most proud of, and why?

 Response: I am culturally queer and my favorite part of being queer is probably how connected our community is. As the LGBTQIA+ community has been a pretty repressed minority for a long time we have had to create our own community and connection. I have met so many lovely queer people that I have been able to meet and relate to. A lot of my very close friends are also queer and we have formed a small community within lakeside that really makes the world feel a lot more safe and kind. Summary: We worked on Dissect the We worksheet. Reflection: I found the work a bit difficult which honestly really helped me. The pager had me really thinking about the poem more thoughtfully than before.

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?

 Response: I think the weirdest story I heard about was the case of Marybeth Tinning. I had to do research about her in forensic science last year for our serial killer project. She had around 10 or so kids thought her life and killed 9 of them. It had been written off for years as tragedies and SIDS for years until she was caught suffocating one of her kids. It was a really interesting case because she would give birth to a kid and kill it but then continue raising her other kids and even fostering a kid without killing it. After she was imprisoned and died in jail she was diagnosed postmortem with Munchausen by proxy. Summary: We finished reading A Rose for Emily and watch the video adaptation of it. Reflection: I found this story really interesting to read, going over it thoroughly helped me envision it more. I found watching the movie really interesting because it really contrasted to my personal interpretation of the story.
