What is the most creative thing you have ever made?

 Prompt Response: The most creative thing I've ever made was a portrait of one of my favorite artists. I consider it the most creative thing because I've never really been good at art or drawing so I was very hesitant when I had to do a portrait as my assignment. I remember telling my art teacher about it and how I had no faith in myself and I'm sure she was sick of me eventually because I would always ask her to check it and recommend how I can make it better during every class period. As time went on, I started noticing that it was coming out great and maybe I was capable of making it look good even if it was my first time doing a portrait. Once I finished, I showed it to my teacher and she was proud of me and told me I should never doubt myself if I've never tried it out. She ended up displaying it in her class which made me proud of my work, but I asked for it at the end of the school year so now it's displayed in my room and I always show it off to anyone that enters my room.

Summary: Today we talked about the speech Donald Trump gave in 2019 about Border Security and took notes about SPACECAT and the rhetorical appeals we found being used.

Reflection. I learned how president's tend to use hyperbole a lot when it comes to giving speeches. I observed how they also mention many statistics that are credible so it can cause their audience to notice that they're taking everything seriously.

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 phrase I often find myself saying these days is "I don't know what I'm going to do". It has became a part of my everyday vocabulary because I feel like there's so much to do this year and I can't keep up with everythingat once. It's stressing trying to complete one thing and then having to do another and sometimes veen trying to find time and make everything fit if they're due the same day. I've been procrastinating which I definetly need to change. I have homework every week for US history, I stay after school for a club, take care of my siblings and do work for other classes as well. Right now, I have to teach myself the lessons for chemistry since my teacher is out and it's difficult when I have questions and don't have anyone to ask. I feel like I say that phrase everyday.  Summary: We jotted down new vocabulary words and their definitions and used them in exercises. Reflection: I learned some words I hadn't seen...

Today, we learned how writers create a clear line of reasoning by connecting a claim, evidence, commentary, and conclusion. Which part of building an argument is most challenging for you, and why?

 Prompt Response:The part that is most difficult for me is coming up with a claim. I know how to identify the idea that I'd include in my claim I just tend to struggle creating the claim. I could write the body paragraphs first and then the claim. Sometimes I also tend to struggle creating the conclusion without repeating everything I stated in the claim. When I am able to create a claim, everything tends to flow and I get the hang of it. I've always had a difficulty when coming up with creating claims and sometimes conclusions. Summary: We learned what phrases to avoid when creating our claim and also wrote down what we can use as evidence in our readings and what not to use. Reflection: I learned that we should avoid using second person pronouns in paragraphs and should only use them in quotes if necessary. I also learned that if we use news articles or research studies, they should be no more than 10 years ago.

Describe something you will never fully understand

Prompt Response: Something I will never fully understand is why do people get with someone just to lie to them or end up leading them on? Why is it that people start dating at such a young age and believe it's right to lie to their partner just because? I've always wondered about that. I can't say I've experienced it, but I've experienced being with someone and them talking bad about me withh their best friend. To me, it doesn't make sense to do so, like if you don't like your partner anymore, why not leave them? Is it hard just to end your relationship when you feel like you're falling out of love? Personally, I'd prefer leaving someone instead of leading them on until they find out. The feeling of finding out isn't the best, so I wouldn't want to hurt them. I'm more of a person that is straight up and admits that "this won't work out anymore, but I wish you the best and hope you find someone that'll treat you better" t...
