Prompt: In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you

 Prompt Response: I spent my holiday break enjoying valuable time with my family members and friends. I also spent a lot of time catching up on sleep and playing video games with friends.

 1. The first goal I want to achieve this year is to break 80 in golf. This goal is important because it will build confidence in my golf game and show how hard work pays off. To accomplish this goal, I will go to the range at least three times a week. I will also play rounds over the weekend and track my scores to see improvement until I reach my target score. My goal is to reach this score by the end of the year, as I feel it's very achievable but will also take a lot of time.


2. The second goal I want to achieve this year would be to complete the school year with straight A´s. This goal is important because it will help me boost my GPA and help me get into college. To accomplish this goal, I will work very hard to complete all my classwork assignments and make sure that I continue the learning from the classroom to home. My goal is to achieve straight A´s by the end of the school year.


3. My third goal is to drink more water. This goal is important because it will help boost my health and help me stay hydrated during the day. To accomplish this goal, I will bring a water bottle to school every day so I can make sure that I am drinking a good amount of water every day. I want to achieve this goal by the end of the school year.


4. My final goal is to get abs. This goal is important because it will improve my health and will help me build a stronger core. To accomplish this goal, I will do crunches and other abdominal exercises to help build a six-pack. My goal is to achieve my objective before summer.


Summary: In class today we went over expectations for this semester and worked on our new years resolutions.

Prompt: 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.

 Prompt Response: I remember hearing the word brigand in a movie I watched a while ago. The characters mentioned it while they were traveling somewhere that seemed a little unsafe. They didn’t clearly explain what a brigand was, but the way they said it made it sound like someone to avoid. The scene showed them looking around nervously, which made me think the person was trouble. Even without a definition, I could tell it meant someone who might cause harm. Hearing the word used in that moment helped me understand it better than just reading it in class. Summary: We completed new vocabulary. Reflection: I learned new vocabulary words.

Prompt: Describe a time that you had an encounter with a homeless person, either directly or indirectly. What did you think and how did it make you feel?

  Prompt Response:   One time, I was walking downtown with my friend when we passed a man sitting on the sidewalk with a cardboard sign. He looked tired and cold, and I could tell he had been out there for a while. He wasn’t asking for much, just a little help, but my first instinct was to feel a bit uneasy. At the same time, I felt bad for him because it’s hard to imagine being in that position, having to rely on strangers for anything. It made me realize how quickly things can change for anyone, and it left me thinking about how we often overlook people who are struggling, even if they’re right in front of us. Summary: We read a new part of a story.  Reflection:  I learned a new part of the story.

Prompt: Write about something you’ve always been curious about.

 Prompt Response: Something I've always been curious about is living in space. Growing up, I would wonder how astronauts sleep, eat, and even walk around in space since it lacks gravity. I've watched them floating around in the space station on videos, and it just doesn't seem real. I imagine looking out the window and seeing Earth from above, and it would probably feel both amazing and a little scary. I’ve always thought about how different life would be up there and what it would feel like to leave everything behind and explore the unknown. It’s something that has always stuck in my mind and made me want to learn more about space. Summary: We completed a paragraph to argue for our claim that we made on Wednesday using evidence and reasoning. Reflection: I learned how to format a argumentative paragraph.
