Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story.

 Prompt Response: A meaningful place to me is school. In general, I have spent a lot of time at Lakeside, and that comes with lots of memories and stories that I think about. In school, I have met so many people that have seriously affected my life outside of school. It has also helped give me guidance in what I like and dislike, along with giving me a routine to rely on. Overall, school has affected my life in almost every aspect and has led to me becoming the person that I am today.

Summary: Today we read about and annotated the Navajo creation story. We also explored the theme of the story.

Reflection: Today I learned that a theme HAS to be a statement. Although I think I am pretty familiar with what a theme is, I think this still is helpful to know.
