Miss Emily’s house once represented pride and tradition, but over time it became a symbol of decay and isolation. Describe a place that holds deep memories for you—positive or negative—and explain how it reflects part of who you are or how you’ve changed over time.

 Prompt response: There is a place that holds deep memories for me. That's Henderson Middle School. For 3 years, being a middle school student has helped me change in such ways as friendships. Before middle school, I was very, very shy. But after I left Henderson for Lakeside, I had more friends.

Summary: Today, we read "A Rose for Emily".

Reflection: I learned all about the story. This impacted my knowledge as I am more prepared for the quiz.

Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week, and evaluate one strength and one challenge you anticipate as we progress, justifying your insights with personal examples.

  Prompt response:  I've adapted to the demands of this course over the past week in a few ways. One way is that I know now to get in the habit of writing blog posts every day there is class. One strength I anticipate is that when there is a story that covers a topic I am mainly interested in, I tend to be a great reader there, as I have before. On the other hand, one challenge I anticipate this year is that I don't like reading, so I often will procrastinate on assignments in this class like I did before in the 9th and 10th grade Lit classes. Summary:  I was absent again today, but I heard that there was a quiz on origin myths today. Reflection:  I was absent, so I did not do the quiz today.

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

  Prompt response:  There was a time when someone's words had a lasting impact on me. There was this teacher that I had two years ago that once said, "You didn't wake up today to be mediocre." It had a lasting impact as it motivated me to not be just mediocre. Summary:  Today, we continued on writing an argument paragraph on "Ambush" by Tim Obrien, as well as we learned about formal and informal language. Reflection:  I learned how to make an argument paragraph. I might use this knowledge to easily create more argument paragraphs.

Describe a real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship you experienced.

  Prompt response:  I don't have much experience with relationships, but I can recall a few situations where I felt jealous of my friends. Often, I get a jealous feeling when a girl I know is in love with someone else. I am that way because I have never been in a relationship, and I have a desire for me to be in one. Summary:  I was absent from class today, but I heard that there was a group activity on "The Jealous Father," which I did read. Reflection:  I learned that it's not always good to be too jealous that you start to do bad things. I might use this knowledge to make sure I won't do anything bad when I get jealous.
