Prompt: People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

       When I felt overwhelmed by my big math project or other homework, I decided to take a break and play outside for a little while. Being away from my desk helped my brain relax and stop feeling so frustrated. When I came back, I realized that I actually knew how to solve the problems all along; I just needed a clear head to see it. Summary: In class we read chapter 1 and answered questions. Reflection: I finished answering my questions about chapter 1.

Prompt: Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

       The easiest word for me to understand was bumpkin because it sounds like "pumpkin" – which is a simple and plain object. The most challenging word was indecorous because it is just a hard word to remember. For my slideshow, I wrote: "Miles says that he was soporific on Mia – saying that when she woke up she was even more tired than she had already been." Using my own sentences and picking images helped me because it made the definitions stick in my head. Summary: In class we worked on a slideshow about unit 9 Vocab words. Reflection: I finished my slideshow and blog post.

Prompt: After viewing your classmates’ digital posters and reading the feedback comments left on your work, what new ideas or perspectives did you gain about your poster? Reflect on how the feedback influenced the way you think about your creative choices and describe what you learned about the creative process while designing and presenting your poster.

      While looking at other students work, its very neat and detailed. I looked my poster's comments and feedback. I realized the color them pops out the most. While designing my poster I was definitely going for a cute pink vibe. Realizing this, I brainstormed how I would put all the information and pictures. After I finished it, I took a minute to think about how it pops out a cotton candy vibe. Summary: In class we looked and commented on all our classmates posters. Reflection: I finished commenting on all my classmates posters.
