Prompt: Words shape how we think, write, and interpret literature. Think about a time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped you better analyze a text, express an idea, or make your writing stronger.

 Prompt Response: A time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped me was a few weeks ago. I was writing a new song with a line talking about confusing paths with dead ends. I wasn't sure exactly how to talk about that so I researched what I could say. I chose the word "Labyrinth." I thought it was the right word for the song due to the meaning, aesthetic, and flow. This is a time when I learned a new word or understood a specific term that helped me.  

Summary: I learned the new vocabulary we did today. 

Reflection: We worked on Lesson one question sections 1-3.

Prompt: Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time.

  Prompt Response:  Something memorable I experienced over the break was playing guitar with my 80 year old grandfather. He's been a guitarist ever since he was 14. Stories are always told when i'm around due to our love of music. Music bonds us together and it's a joy talking about his past with music. I'm very grateful and lucky that I get to have a grandfather like him. I will remember these memories until the end of time.  Summary: I learned about the new vocabulary in module 4 today.  Reflection:  We did sections 1-4 for the module 4 vocabulary.

Prompt: After watching the short film Identity, write a blog post reflecting on how the masks in the film represent the pressure to fit in and the struggle to discover who you really are. Choose one moment from the film that stood out to you and explain why. Then, connect the film’s message to Langston Hughes’ poem “I, Too” and to the mask you are creating in class. What part of your identity do you want your mask to reveal?

  Prompt Response:   The masks in Identity show how we hide our true selves to fit in. Figuring who you really are is hard, but the film suggests our genuine, imperfect identity is the most important. Both "Identity" and "I, Too" show the struggle of being told who you are and the strength it takes to be yourself. The Identity I want my mask to reveal is my interests, which are very important to me.  Summary: I learned about the theme of the short film "Identity." Reflection:  We worked on watching the short film "Identity" and discussing our final project.
