Write about a fear you overcame.

 Prompt: I overcame a fear when I did my first backflip into a lake. Almost every year, my family goes to Lake Tahoe in California where we swim, boat, and hang out with cousins and other family at the lake house. There is a pier where we jump off into the lake and swim around and I had always wanted to do a backflip off of it, but I was always too scared. One day, I decided to just do it, I stood on the edge and threw myself backward. I ended up landing on my head, but at least I knew how to fall backward now. I got back up and did it again, except that time I actually did a backflip. I was so excited because I had conquered my fears. 

Summary: Today in class we started working on a presentation for "A Lesson Before Dying" chapters 1-5. My topic is about Miss Emma's relationship with Jefferson. We are working on it in a software called Adobe Express. 

Reflection: The software is kind of tricky to use, but it does make the presentation look better. I am enjoying this project and book so far.

Write about a conversation that changed you.

  Prompt Response: A conversation that changed me was a conversation that I had about passions. We discussed how if you don't have any passions, you will have no determination and become lazy. 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.

Which time do you perfer the most and why, Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

  Prompt Response:  I prefer Daylight Savings Time. This is because it symbolizes that summer is getting closer, which is exciting. I also enjoy having a change in my routine that makes life a little more interesting for a little bit. I also enjoy having more daylight that lasts for longer. 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.
