3 goals I want to achieve this year.

 Prompt: My top 3 goals for this year are both academic and personal to me. My first goal would be me wanting to raise my GPA up at least 0.05 to a 0.1 of a point from my previous year as I have done since starting high school. I hopefully can go from ending sophomore year with a 3.8 to a 3.9 - 4.0 this year. My second goal would be related to my career. I hope to get the role I want in this musical this year, leading me to a Shuler and possible Jimmy oppertunity this year. This is a goal that doesn't NEED to happen but would be something that could really catipult what I want to do in my future while only being in high school. My last and final goal would be to stay on track. Get my work done, don't put things off, get more sleep, etc. I really want to achieve these goals because they'll ultimately make me a better person in my career and future to come!

Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you.

Prompt Response:  A word I have found myself saying a lot is "chez". I don't know where it came from, but I heard my friend say it once and i've said it since. To me it means yes, but in the language of cheese. This word choice has become a part of my everyday vocabulary because one says yes so often, but this is my way of it. I don't really know what it would reveal about me, but my friends say I weird and my brain works differently, so I guess that. Summary: In class today, we did our first week of vocabulary, and exercises to go along with it. Reflection:  I learned 10 new words out of the 15 we had to do. Along with that, I learned how to use the context of a situation to decide which term properly fits, it was a bit of a struggle at first because the words are so new to me, but it definitely helped my comprehension.

Write about a conversation that changed you.

  Prompt Response: A conversation that changed me wasn't nessesarily one I experienced myself, but overheard. It was from one of my friends parents in middle school, and it stuck with me since. That no matter how old, young, girl or boy, that you have a right to have a voice. That the idelology of someone being right because their an adult, or older than you, doesn't give them the authority to be disrespectful. I think that really changed me because I grew up with those exact words being told to me, but also being told to stand up for myself and my feelings no matter what or who it was. The two seemed to contradict each other all the time, so hearing that really set things into perspective for younger me and now. Summary: Today in class we took our annotated poem we got Monday and answered questions. Reflection: The most that I learned today was how to look and interpret a poem. Answering the questions allowed me to realize that going thought and putting notes, trying to actual...

How did clustering help you generate ideas, examples, etc for the prompt?

Prompt Response: Clustering made it easier for me to think of ideas and examples for the prompt. By putting my main idea in the middle and drawing lines to smaller ideas, I could see how everything was connected. The most helpful part was being able to organize my thoughts before I started writing. I would use clustering again because it helps me get started and makes my writing less stressful. Summary: Today in class, we learned about brainstorming tactics, specifically, clustering. Reflection:   Clustering is a form of brainstorming that I already knew about. Today’s lesson and class notes really showed me how effective it can be for organizing ideas and coming up with examples. I realized that clustering makes it easier to plan what I want to write, and now I see why I should use it more often when working on essays or assignments to get a full visual of everything going on in my head rather than trying to remember or just randomly jotting it down and connecting it later on...
