Describe a place where you feel the most at peace and explain why.

 Prompt Response: A place where I feel most at peace is Lake Tahoe in California. I go there almost every year for a family reunion and it has become a sort of symbol of peace and relaxation because you have no responsibilities while you're there. You can chill in the lakehouse, swim in the lake, go fishing, or go hiking whenever you feel like it.

Choose one item from your "So Much Depends Upon" list and imagine it could talk. What story would it tell about you? Write from the item’s point of view.

Prompt Response:  If my Nintendo Switch could tell a story about me, it would probably talk about all the time I spent playing video games and bonding with family and friends:  "Jonah would spend hours on weekends playing Fortnite, Super Smash Bros, and Mario Kart with my family and friends. He loved the time he spent together making memories and growing friendships."  Summary: Today in class, we read a poem called "So Much Depends On..." and began a project about how the little things in our lives play big roles.  Reflection:  I thought the lesson today helped me recognize and feel more grateful for the objects I might take for granted.

Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you."

  Prompt Response:  I look forward to Christmas the most out of all the holidays. It is my favorite holiday because I love the spirit of the season. It's impossible to feel sad or bored during Christmas because of all the fun things to do with friends and family. On Christmas Eve, we normally eat a big dinner of smoked meats and a bunch of delicious sides. We normally will invite friends over for this dinner. On Christmas morning, we open presents and eat a breakfast of German sour cream twists, scrambled eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and hot chocolate.  Summary: Today in class, we continued to work on our "So Much Depends Upon..." slide shows.  Reflection:  I am enjoying this project because it is helping me recognize and be more grateful for the smaller things in my life.

Write about a book, poem, or article you’ve read that made you feel something deeply—whether it was joy, anger, sadness, or curiosity. What was the text, and what moment or message stood out to you the most?

Prompt Response:   A book that I have read that made me feel something deeply was Ready Player One. I read this a while ago in 8th grade, and when I read it I felt very sad and depressed for the main character. He had lost his home and family and was forced to move away to pursue his dreams, but the main antagonist came and destroyed his home again and forced him to flee. His situation made me feel really bad for him and everything he went through.  Summary: Today in class we read an article in Commonlit and answered questions about the text.  Reflection:  I enjoyed reading the story because I thought it was very interesting, and the questions helped expand my understanding of the text.
