As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.
Prompt Response: I think that I connected the most with poetry. Poetry was very engaging and I found dissecting the meanings out of them to be really interesting. My favorite project that I did in this class was my origin myth project. I put a lot of effort into making an interesting story for that project and I was proud of the outcome. I would say I need the most improvement in my writing skills. Although I think they are fine, I think there are lots of ways I can improve on them. Summary: Today we worked on our projects in class. Reflection: I had a lot of fun in the first semester of this course.
Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).
Prompt: A tradition that is important to me and my family is celebrating Christmas. We celebrate every year and it usually takes up a few days. We visit both sides of the family before Christmas, and then randomly decide for Christmas day which side we visit. Christmas is always a great time and it is one of my most cherished times. Summary: Today we worked on our projects Reflection: I need to finish my project tonight.
How have the holidays changed as you have grown older? Compare your experiences of the holidays during childhood with how you experience them now, focusing on shifts in perspective, responsibilities, or emotional meaning.
Prompt: As I have grown older, holidays have started to feel less magical. I feel like they are a lot less meaningful as they used to be. Christmas used to be my favorite day of every year, but now it seems similar to regular days. I think that childhood innocence makes the holidays feel so much more real. Summary: Today were worked on lesson 6 vocabulary. Reflection: I learned some new words today.
Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss
Prompt: Something that I have outgrown but miss is trick or treating. Trick or treating pre-covid was some of the most fun I have ever had. Now that I am older, it is looked down upon if I were to continue walking around asking for candy. Sometimes I wish this weren't the case because Halloween has felt very bland recently. Summary: Today we read "Refugee in America" Reflection: It is important to understand your civil rights and liberties.
Write about something that you can't stop thinking about.
Prompt: I can't stop thinking about what I will do after high school. It is an extremely important decision but I feel so lost. I feel like I want to go to college, but going to trade school might be more financially safe. Whatever I pick will impact the rest of my life. Summary: Today we chose our classes for Senior year. Reflection: I need to start my final project soon.
