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.

 Response: I have heard the word metamorphosis used a lot since I was a little kid. We used to talk about nature a lot in elementary school, especially in the nature club after school. Of course we talked about butterflies and we brought up their changes in their lives. We talked about how caterpillars would go into cocoons and metamorphize butterflies. Before I even knew the basic definition of the word I understood what it meant. Today when we went over it I recognized the word immediately and was quickly able to tie it to its definition because I had already heard it before.

Summary: We worked on new vocab.

Reflection: I think I am getting better at understanding our vocab better. I have been learning more words and I think I have found myself being able to remember them easier.
