March 4-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?

 Response- One time when I had been arguing with my dad over the summer for days on end, I had to get out of the house to think to myself about what to do. I ended up taking back to back shifts to get out of the house and ended up getting some additional advice from my coworker about what to do. I think its good to get out sometimes to think about certain situations.  Summary- When I was arguing with my dad I had to get out of the house. Reflection- In class we worked on our new book and survival.

March 3-Prompt: After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 Response- We didn't have time in class to read chapter 1, but we did talk about things we would bring if we went camping alone for months. I chose to bring first aid and a Glock for safety. We also talked about bears and what to do if you see when. We saw a video of a bear chasing someone and it was scary how fast they run, but educated me on how to escape from one. Summary- I would bring first aid and a Glock to go camping. Reflection- In class we wrote 12 things to bring camping and talked about how to survive.

March 2-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.

 Response- The easiest word for me was frenetic. This word was the easiest for me to understand because I'm familiar the word. I used an image of a girl rushing to type something to represent someone being frantic. The most challenging vocabulary word for me to learn was recrimination because I've never heard of it before so I was new to it. I made my own sentence about a lawyer using recrimination to accuse the opposing side and a photo of two men blaming each other to help me understand it better. Summary- The easiest word for me to learn was frenetic and the most challenging was recrimination Reflection- In class we worked on a digital vocabulary assignment
