Prompt: Write about a conversation that changed you.

 A conversation that changed me was in 8th grade when I was on a church trip. I was having a rough year with my mental health, and my small group leader helped me battle through it. He gave me  a plan to overcome it and it helped significantly. Now my mental health is a lot better and his plan is still helping me to this day. This was a time a conversation changed me. 

Summary: Today we answered questions based on the poem we read on Monday.
Reflection: This helped me break down and pick a part the poem to find the information I needed. It also helped my reading comprhension skills.

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.
