Choose a vocabulary word from Lesson 10 that resonates with you personally. Write a blog post explaining why this word is significant to you, including any personal memories or experiences that link you to the word.

The word luminous resonates with me personally. It reminds me of my sister because she has always had a bright soul that inspires me. This word is very positive to me and brings a sense of peace to me. It reminds me of when my sister and I were younger and we would play in the back yard until we had to go inside for dinner. It was a very hopeful and joyful time which the word luminous reminds me of.

In class, we did vocabulary Monday.

I learned new words like majordomo and untenable.

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.
