November 4

 Today we read a story called "Ambush" about a young man in a war. After that, we worked on some discussion questions. The story is about a moment during the author's time in war. It talks about an event where he had to ambush an enemy soldier with a grenade. I learned about the trauma of war and how it can have lasting effects on your mental health. I also thought more deeply about the story while answering the discussion questions. This was an enjoyable lesson and it helped me learn to analyze text more deeply. My day today has been good so far. I did a mock voting thing in APUSH and I'm excited to see the results. I am also excited to have a virtual day tomorrow because I'll get to sleep in.

This can lead to depression and many other bad things such as hurting relationships. 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.
