 Today we worked on some prep vocabulary for an upcoming quiz. We wrote an original sentence for all 15 words and answered some other questions. I learned and better memorized the meanings and definitions of these words. I enjoy this kind of work as it is independent and I’m able to focus good on it. My day is going pretty good so far. I’m happy that it is Friday and I’m excited to go to the football game tonight and to hang out with friends. I am also excited for the long weekend. 

 

 

 Today we worked on defining vocab and finding an image to represent the words. I learned some new words that I previously didn’t know the meaning of. I enjoyed this lesson because I was able to draw because I don’t have a Chromebook. My day has been pretty good today. I have a good lunch that I want to eat. 

 Today we took an assessment on an origin myth. I enjoyed reading the origin myth and thought it was very interesting. I feel like I did very well on it, I understood what each question was asking and felt like I answered correctly. After we did that my group submitted our slide show project on the origin myth “The Jealous Father.” Today I am very excited for the weekend. I have my first water polo game of the season tomorrow which should be very fun. I’m also excited for the football game tonight because I will be able to hang out with friends there as well as after. 

 Today we read a story called “The Jealous Father.” I thought it was very interesting and didn’t really expect the magic that was involved in it because I didn’t think that Native Americans believed in magic or spell and stuff similar to that. After we finished reading the story we began a group project bested on the story. My group’s topic was about the resolution of the conflict. I enjoyed working on this project and drawing a storyboard for the PowerPoint. I learned that the Native Americans told stories involving magic and spells, which I was unaware of. I now know that they had much broader beliefs that were different from the stereotypes that I knew. I enjoyed this lesson because the story was interesting and I liked working as a group with others. My day has been pretty good so far. I had pancakes for breakfast which are some of my favorite food. I have baseball practice tonight as well as lots of homework to do.
