Prompt: Write about a time when you had to rely on your mother (or any other prominent female in your life) during your time of need.

Prompt Response: One time, I was really sick and couldn't take care of myself. My mom made sure I had medicine, food, and rest. She stayed by my side until I felt better. 

Summary: Today in class we reviewed and talked about a poem with the entire class. We annotated and shared thoughts and filled out questions on our papers. I think the poem was very powerful and had a deep meaning.

Reflection: Today was a tiring day. School was good at the beginning and towards the end I got pretty tired. I had a soccer game today. Lakeside v. Pace. We tied 0-0 but lost in penalties which really sucked. It honestly didn't feel like a lost because we didn't allow any balls to go into our goal which meant we did a good job defensively. They're were definitely a rough and physical team but we managed to hold them down.

Prompt: Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

  Prompt Response:   When my teacher told me, "You’re stronger than you think," it stuck with me. It made me believe in myself during tough times. Those words still push me to keep going. Summary: Today was a digital learning day so we didn't have school. Mr. Rease assigned us discussion questions for letters 51-55 on the book The Color Purple. Pretty much it for today Reflection:  Today I didn't think it was going to snow but it did in the afternoon. It looked cool at first but then it got worse. The roads were covered in black ice and it became very dangerous for people to drive. My friend couldn't make it home so he had to come over to my house. Overall the snow was fun but it was very dangerous. I wish we could go back to school.

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. Classes went by like usual, and there wasn’t anything crazy or exciting that happened. I just focused on my work and hung out with some friends during lunch. Overall, it was a pretty calm and normal day.
