 Prompt: Today, your group had to work together to earn 100% on the “A Worn Path” assessment or write an essay. How did this challenge affect the way your group discussed the story and made decisions? What did you learn from the experience?

Prompt Response: Working with my group to earn a 100% on the “A Worn Path” assessment motivated everyone to contribute equally and work hard to ensure our grade. We had to work together to analyze the story and carefully eliminate wrong answers to find the best option. This challenged the way my group made decisions because some of us interpreted the story differently than others, so we had to hear each other out to come to the best conclusion. I learned from this experience that I should always use the process of elimination and carefully think through the questions before answering. 
Summary: Today in class we did a group assessment on “A Worn Path” using the process of elimination.
Reflection: I enjoyed this group assessment because it allowed me to discuss the story with my classmates, which helped me to better understand the themes and characters of the story. I would like to do more of these group assessments in the future because they are fun and make us work hard!

If you could change one rule at school, at home, or in society, what would it be? Using a claim of policy, make an argument for why that rule should change, using at least two reasons to support your claim.

  Prompt: If you could change one rule at school, at home, or in society, what would it be? Using a claim of policy, make an argument for why that rule should change, using at least two reasons to support your claim. Prompt Response:  If I could change one rule at school, I would change the phone policy. Although I agree that phones should not be used during instructional time, it's unsafe to completely ban them throughout the entire school day. One solution to the phone ban would be only banning phones during instructional time, but allowing them during class transitions, lunch time, and when work is completed. This would allow students to still focus on their work without phones but eliminate the unsafety of having no access to your phone during other times. For example, if there was an emergency at school, a student would not be able to contact their parents because of the phone ban. This is why I think they should only be banned during educational time and not the entire d...

Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

  Prompt: Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone. Prompt Response:  A moment where I had to step out of my comfort zone was when driving from Georgia to South Carolina in June. At the time, I had only had my license for a few weeks, so driving across state lines was big for me. The reason I had to do this was because I was picking up a car for my brother from my Aunt's house, but he did not have his license yet, so I had to drive the car instead. My dad drove us to my Aunts house, where we stopped and said hi for a bit, and then they gave me the keys and we hit the road. My Dad had us take back roads instead of the highway since I was still a new driver, so the ride was two and a half hours. It ended up being a very smooth and chill road trip, but it definitely was a step outside of my comfort zone!  Summary:  Today in class we continued analyzing “Constantly Risking Absurdity” by Lawrence Feringhetti and did a worksheet on it. Reflection:...

Imagine someone could learn about you only by looking through your trash can. What three items might they find in your trash today, and what would each item reveal about your personality, habits, interests, or life right now?

  Prompt: Imagine someone could learn about you only by looking through your trash can. What three items might they find in your trash today, and what would each item reveal about your personality, habits, interests, or life right now? Prompt Response:  If someone were to look through my trashcan today, they would find a goodwill receipt, sewing thread, and scrap paper with schoolwork on it. The goodwill receipt reveals that I like to go thrifting and buy clothes a lot, and it also shows that I prefer secondhand clothes over fast fashion. The sewing thread reveals that I'm crafty and independent, and that I like to sew up holes from my thrifted clothes or sew mini plushies. The scrap paper reveals that I prioritize my education and tend to do a lot of hard math and chemistry equations for homework. All these items show that I am unique, crafty, and smart. Summary:  Today in class I wrote about 10 items that I think the character Roy from “The Rockpile” would have in his t...
