 Today we talked about the poem "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks and worked on a paper where we analyzed the poem. I thought the poem was very interesting and enjoyed going in-depth in it. I learned that the poem talked about how we can be uncertain about what is cool and what is not cool. I think that through experiences in life, we can learn more about ourselves and see that what we thought was cool is actually not. My day today has been good so far, we watched a movie in Spanish class about the famous singer Selena. I thought it was a good movie and I learned about her life and impact. I am very excited about the upcoming break, I need a break from school and I think this will be fun and relaxing.

That is why that conversation changed me.  Summary:  In today's class we worked on an assignment over the Lesson 7 vocabulary words. We defined the words, wrote some synonyms and antonyms, as well as filled in sentences using the vocab words.  Reflection: I enjoyed this class because it was fairly simple so I was able to finish quickly. Because I finished early I was able to do make-up work with the remaining time.

That is why I prefer Daylight Savings Time over Standard Time.  Summary: Today was a virtual day, so I worked on the NEWSELA assignment on Daylight Savings Time.  Reflection:  I enjoyed reading the article and learning about the reason and history behind Daylight Savings Time. I also thought that the questions weren't that difficult, but they still offered a challenge.
