Prompt: 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.

 A phrase I find myself saying a lot is my pleasure. Since working at Chick Fil A, I have had to say that after every order that I have taken. It has been so engraved in my brain, that I find myself saying it even when I am not even working. On Saturday, I held a door open for a woman at the pro shop of a golf course, and I said my pleasure. I felt so dumb, but it was super funny. 

Summary: Today in class, we took notes on definitions, and completed pages in our workbook. 

Reflections: With learning new vocab, it felt helpful with being able to make my writing sound better. As well as being able to sound more intelligent while speaking.

3 goals you want to achieve this year

 There are plenty of goals I have for this upcoming school year, such as being a straight A student, meeting requirements to get into good schools, as well as being a member of Varsity Tennis for my second year in a row. Being a straight A student is not easy, and I know well about this since I have not had all A's since elementary school, but this year I have a new momentum entering this school year, as well as a new study habit I used that worked well for me. Meeting requirements to get into good schools is like getting a good enough GPA, and getting good SAT as well as ACT scores. I am going to train through out the school year to prepare myself to get those good SAT and ACT scores. For tennis, I train two to three times a week, at a private academy, also I work out at the gym pretty often to maintain good health to bring me success this tennis season.

Prompt: Think about a time when you made a claim or gave an opinion, but someone asked you, “Why?” or “How do you know?” Describe the situation. What evidence did you use to support your point, and why is explaining your evidence just as important as providing it?

 Something that made me question how do you know is when my friend explained to me how to perfectly hit your iron in golf. He was showing me the correct form and footwork needed. I was confused so I asked him where he learned it from, and he showed me a video of his golf coach teaching him how to do it perfectly every time. When he showed me it I understood his information was right and used it. Now I know how to hit the iron club perfect each time.  Summary: Today in class we discussed we discuseed and read a story about an army veteran. Reflection: It was cool to see different peoples views and ideas about one topic. This inspired me to view peoples views even more than I already do.

Which learning method do you enjoy the most? Class discussions, worksheet work, or hands-on activities. Select one and tell why.

 I prefer doing hands-on activities the best in my opinion. Especially in science, so I can see how the stuff works in itself. Or in ELA, by reading a physical book I enjoy it since if I have something to connect it to by touching it clicks in my brain just a bit better. Or when in social studies we can like touch a 3-d map to understand how mountains actually feel and where they are at. This is why I prefer hands on activities more.  summary: today in class we learned how to make claims and completed a worksheet about it. | Reflection: Learning how to make strong claims is very important for writing. Like how I used them on my paragraph today.
