Today’s article discussed how more people are choosing to live in the suburbs rather than in the city. When you become an adult, which lifestyle do you think you would prefer—city life or suburban life? Choose one and explain your reasons clearly.

 Prompt Response: When I become an adult, I would prefer to live in the suburbs because of the community you can build there. Because it is much more secluded and life is slower paced, you can have more time to connect with your neighbors and form meaningful relationships. Also, in general, suburbs are safer than cities. I would want a safe neighborhood to create and live in with my family. 

Summary: Today we read an article that talked about the negative effects of having to travel between suburbs and cities. 

Reflection: I thought that the article was very informational, it opened my eyes to the benefits of city life. However, I think that I still would prefer to live in the suburbs.

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.

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.

Now that you have completed your sensory presentation, reflect on which of the five senses you value most. Identify the sense and explain why it holds the greatest importance to you.

  Prompt Response:  Of the 5 senses, the one that I value the most is sight. Sight is the most important to me because it is the only one that you can't do anything about. For example, for hearing, you can learn sign language. You don't really need taste either. For smell, touch, and hearing, there are ways to live your life without them. However, if you don't have sight, you can not do anything about it. You need sight to truly experience life and the world. That is why sight is the most important to me. Summary: Today in class, we worked on a Commonlit assignment about the different types of friendship.  Reflection:  I enjoyed the lesson today because I was able to work independently and quickly.
