Prompt: Write a blog post reflecting on a time when you or someone you know was misunderstood because of a single story. How can limiting ourselves to one perspective be harmful? What can we do to make sure we see people and cultures more fully?

 One time, my friend was misunderstood because people only saw him as a quiet kid. They thought he was shy and not very smart, but he was actually really funny and creative. When we only see one side of a person or culture, we miss the full story. This can lead to wrong ideas and unfair judgments. To see people and cultures more fully, we should listen, ask questions, and keep an open mind. Everyone has more to them than just one story.

Today in class, we did a CommonLit.com assignment. We read an article and answered questions about it. The questions helped us understand the main idea and details better. Some were easy, but others made us think more. It was a good way to practice reading and thinking skills.

Today was a good day. I went to class, did my work, and everything went fine. Nothing too hard or stressful. I got to talk with my friends and just enjoy the day. Overall, it was simple but good.

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.
