Prompt: Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt Response:  At my old school, we would have a lot of early release days where we left at 11 or even earlier. One day we had a release day in October and we left and went to an abandoned place and went and sat down. I was with my friends and they told me to go with them and at my old school it was a popular thing to go to an abandoned place and explore. We had to sneak around and run when we saw the police and the place was in an unsafe area so we had to be careful. This made me realize that I shouldn't put myself in those situations because anything could happen to me.

Summary: We analyzed a poem called "We real cool" and then we did a circle with branches to talk about the seven We they had said. We wrote what the author was trying to hint and what the moral was.

Reflection: In the poem, the seven kids would eventually die because of the seven actions they did. It made me realize that if I continued to keep doing that on release days anything could go wrong and my life could get cut short.

Prompt: Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt Response:  A time I felt connected to nature is when I am sitting in my car or someone else's. Listening to music really loud and peaceful songs. I love having my windows down and the air hitting me. Looking outside at everything like the sky, trees, cars and the clouds. My mind is thinking but it is way relaxed and it feels nice feeling so free and no have to worry about anything in that moment. Summary: Today in class we talked about the culture and literature of Native Americans. Reflection: Learning about Native Americans made me realized how much they care for nature and how connected they were. I would want to be closer to nature how they were.
