Langston Hughes I, Too

 today we read a poem by Langston Hughes about fighting for equality and being proud of who you are. I learned a couple of things after that lesson. For example, the way the poem addresses the pain of segregation and discrimination, but also expresses a strong sense of pride, self-worth, and optimism for change. Although it's not a long poem, it really says a lot. One thing I liked about the lesson is going over it together as a class. I don't think I have something that I didn't like. I feel pretty good. Tired but good. im kind of having the worst luck today but I know better days will come so I need to relax and not take my frustration out on anyone.

Prompt: Write about what you remember or have been told about the day you were born. What were the emotions or events surrounding it? Do you relate more to "Infant Joy" or "Infant Sorrow"?

  I was told that the day I was born was a very happy day for my family. Everyone was excited and full of joy. Because of that, I feel like I relate more to Infant Joy. It was a peaceful and special moment for them. Today in class, we started our one-pager on The Lamb and The Tyger by William Blake. We talked about how The Lamb represents innocence and kindness, while The Tyger shows strength and mystery. We also looked at the symbolism in both poems and how Blake uses it to explore good and evil. The poems show different sides of life and creation. Overall, today was a bad day because we lost our playoff game in soccer. It was tough since we had worked so hard to get that far, and everyone was really hoping for a win. We played our best, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s disappointing, but we’ll use it as motivation to improve for next season.

Prompt: After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you.

  I think the most beautiful creation in the world is the ocean. It is so big and full of life, with blue water that shines in the sun. Every wave and every creature inside it shows how amazing nature is. The ocean inspires me because it feels peaceful but powerful at the same time. Today in class, we read The Tyger by William Blake. After reading it, we analyzed it together as a class. We talked about what the poem means and shared our ideas . School was okay today.

Overall, it was a pretty calm and normal day.

Prompt: Discuss how mastering precise vocabulary can impact your daily communication and academic success.

  Using the right words can make a big difference in how you talk and do well in school. If you know the exact words to use, people understand you better, and you don’t have to explain things over and over. In school, good vocabulary helps with essays, speeches, and even tests because you can say what you mean clearly. It also makes you sound smarter and more confident. If you use the wrong words or don’t know enough, people might get confused or not take you seriously. So, learning better words helps you in daily life and makes school easier too. Today in class, we wrote sentences with new vocabulary words. It helped us learn how to use them the right way. Some words were easy, but some were tricky.
