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.

    Gemini said           The most challenging part was coming up with 12 different ideas for my similes and metaphors.

Prompt: Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. In a well-developed paragraph, reflect on the process. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

     Writing metaphors helped me see that I am stronger than I thought I was. I learned that I view my growth like a plant growing and still becoming better. Even when things are hard or confusing;I keep pushing until I find my goal. Doing this assignment made me realize that my mistakes aren't just accidents; they are like beginning starters that help me get to the final, better version of myself. Summary: Today in class we worked on a paper to start off our project about similes and metaphors. Reflection: I will continue to finish my 6 smiles and metaphors.

Keep your response appropriate for a school setting and focus on experiences you are comfortable sharing publicly

Gemini said Over the break, I had a great time celebrating Vietnamese New year by going to local festivals with my family. I loved seeing the colorful lion dances and eating traditional foods like sticky rice cakes while enjoying the music. At home, I spend time journaling to write down my favorite memories and what I did that day. Summary: In class we read a poem and analyzed the metaphors and similes.

Prompt: If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

     To show love I would use a long text message, handmade gifts, and food. I love to cook and I'm a beginner, but so far I cook very well. I like to write as well so if that person means a lot to me, then I'll write them a long text message wishing the best. Lastly, I love making stuff with my hands, for as I'm very creative so if I really like you I'll put effort.  Summary: In class we made a poem on a heart for someone we love. Reflection: I made a poem card for my mom for Valentine's Day.

Prompt: Now that you have completed the rhetorical analysis essay, reflect on your growth. Explain how this experience impacted your confidence as a writer and whether you feel prepared to continue analyzing complex speeches and texts in American Literature. Support your reflection with specific references to the writing process.

       After completing the essay, I can say it wasn't that bad. I've brainstormed everything before I wrote so I just needed to write most of it down. The thing I can say during writing the essay that was the most confusing for me was the body paragraphs. They were the hardest part during this essay. I would be able to continue analyzing and writing complex articles in American Literature.  Summary: In class we started writing our essay. Reflection: I finished my essay after reviewing it. 

Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

               One step that helped me analyze the rhetorical speech clearly was when we had an example format of how the introduction, body paragraph, and conclusion would look. The thesis was also clearly presented for us to understand the format of writing and making sure we write it correctly. This helped me analyze the type of rhetorical devices I'm using and how how to relates to the speech. Summary: Today we continued working on our layout of our draft. Reflection: I finished my brainstorming and now I'm onto the draft.

Prompt: In the spirit of Valentine’s Day week, describe your idea of a perfect day spent with someone you care about (a friend, family member, or significant person in your life).

       When Valentine's Day comes I'm going out with my family because my dad has something planned for my mother. I'm going to go out with my friend as well if there's time. But since Valentine's Day is on a weekday it's easier to go out for like dinner, to the park, mall, or even just around the block. Summary: We read a speech and starting our rough draft. Reflection: I'm working on annotating the speech. 

Prompt: What is the best piece of advice of that your parent or guardian has given you? Tell what the advice was and what prompted you to ask the question.

    I never really asked my parents for advice. I usually solve things myself even when it's better to have your parents help. As a teen we don't know much, our parents would help us in anything we are going through: because they have been through it. Adding on, if I ever did ask them for advice they'd be happy to hear about it and offer to help. Summary: In class we read a poem and worked on Writable.  Reflection: I finished my Writable and blog post.

Prompt: What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

      The most challenging part in a group is when most of the members don't do their own part making the group assignment a whole grade. It's only when the teacher makes the group work affect every person in the group rather than doing our specific parts so when a group member doesn't do work it doesn't affect us. I just think this can't be improved unless the teacher assigns every part individually.  Summary: Today in class we had a lesson and work on writable. Reflection: I finished my Writable.

Prompt: What is the most challenging part of writing an essay for you? Is it brainstorming, organizing ideas, writing a strong thesis, or something else? How do you plan to overcome this challenge?

    The most challenging part of writing an essay is the word choice. I'm very good at writing stories and stuff, as well as brainstorming; which is my favorite part. But it starts with me just choosing specific words to write. Like synonyms or antonyms, I don't have a wide variety of vocabulary, so now I try to learn new words.  Summary: Today in class we worked on MLK rhetorical writing in writable.  Reflection: I finished my writable assignment. 

Prompt: Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life?

  A moment in my life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story was when I started changing my bad habits. I’m trying to limit screentime so I started new hobbies and just watched tv rather than my phone. It felt like a turning point in my life because I try to take care of my eyes and things I love. Summary: Today in class we analyzed the Martin Luther King rhetorical analysis and started a new concept. Reflection: I worked on my practice and finished my blog post.
