What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

 The most creative think I have ever made was a junk journal. I was inspired by a girl on TikTok, so the idea wasn't completely original but what I include in it is. I started working on this project during my freshman year of high school, and I still add to it now. The journal is plain black on the outside, but the pages are bursting with creativity. Every page is filled with cut outs from magazines, pictures, and little trinkets picked up from the ground or collected from an activity. For example, I have a page from last year's homecoming dance. I has pictures with my friends, my wristband glued down on the page, and a petal from my flowers, and decorations all over the page. I would consider this my best work because it allowed me to remember each thing that I do in my life. I get to keep physical items, such as my wristband and flower petal, to have a physical memory associated with it. This journal means so much to me and I will keep adding on to it for years to come.


Today in class we finished out Origin Myth and worked on our digital poster.

Today I learned how to use Adobe express and create my poster.

As we think about our upcoming Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your faovorite word and how often do you use it?

 My favorite word right now is scoop. I like this word because of its simplicity and the way it rolls off my tongue. It also makes me think of scoops of ice cream or a skill in volleyball. I don't use it often, but when I do, it is enjoyable.  Today in class, we worked on our slide projects.  I learned how to connect my childhood experiences to Frost's themes.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

 One time, I had to write a DBQ the next period, but I had forgotten to do the prep work, so I was completely unprepared. I decided to have my mom call me out right before the class, so I wouldn't have to go and write the DBQ. I took the DBQ the next Thursday, and I did really well on it because I had studied and was prepared. This made my life easier because I had less stress going into the test, and I was able to take my time with studying, rather than writing it without any background knowledge and failing it.  In class, we finished our short story and answered questions on it. I learned how to answer the questions using evidence from the story and what I read.

The last scene forces readers to reinterpret Emily’s entire life. Write about a moment when new information changed your perception of a person or situation. How did that “plot twist” reshape your understanding, the same way Faulkner’s ending reshapes the story?

 One time when new information changed my perception of a person was when I found out that my friend was depressed and had an eating disorder. This changed my perception of her because she seemed like the happiest and healthiest person ever, and she showed no signs of struggling.  This reshaped my understanding of everyone because I found out that you never know what is actually going on in someone's mind or at their home. It made me think deeper about all of my loved ones and to make sure I would check up on them. In class, we took a quiz on the story and then watched a movie of it. I learned how to work with my group to figure out the right answers.
