Describe a time you felt completely lost.

 Prompt Response:

      One time I felt completely lost was after I took an attachment test online. Yes, I know, on surface it sounds stupid, and YES it is just some online personality attachment quiz. However, in the summer of 2024, I conducted a research paper on attachment styles and both how they form and how they might affect you later down the line. One way I conducted my research was by scouring through countless websites and scores and looking for the most effecient way of determining attachment. While there are tell-tale signs, this website was one of my biggest tools as it's results have credibility and logic behind them. So, I based my "diagnosis"- if you will- on my results. Turns out I had a disorganized attachment style. Which I guess looking back is fine, but in the moment, I had no idea how to fix it, and all I knew was that it was bad, and that people with this attachment style tend to manipulate and control. "Am I like that?" was my first thought. While at first, this realization left me both dumbfounded and lost, I think I found a way to cope, and the realization that this might be affecting me more then I thought (even if the test IS fake) helped guide me to more secure, beneficial attachments in my life!

Summary:

     Today in class we read an article comparing and contrasting three year bachelor degrees from four year degrees, and wrote about the different claims the author was making inside the passage.

Reflection:

       I can use this article in my future when deciding which type of degree/college I'm thinking of attending. I now know the difference between the two, and have been informed about the different benefits and disadvantages that may come with them. Another thing I learned was I practiced my claim skills along with drawing out the right form of reasoning for the different types of claims.

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: One word that I find myself using the most right now would be the word "pookie." I use it a lot when addressing my friends, and it's become an endearing term I use for greeting or thanking my friends. While it makes me seem chronically online and sometimes comes off as unprofessional the response the phrase is widely recognized and well-received by my friends. So, I'm okay with it becoming part of my everyday vocabulary, as long as it remains a term I use casually with my friends. Summary: We had our first day of vocab words today, and we took notes on what these vocab words are and mean. Afterwards, we filled out questions and read a passage to put the new words we used to practice. Reflection: Learning these vocab words is important when expanding our vocabulary. Later in the year we will be debating, and writing argumentative essays and being able to use the right words to describe feelings, emotions, and events is important. I learned around 5 new...

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

  Prompt Reflection:  My favorite learning method is class discussions. After that are hands-on activities, and following that... worksheet work. Worksheet work bores me, and while it can sometimes prove to be effective, I wouldn't describe it as real experience/entertainment. Then, hands-on activities. I believe that hands-on activities give me good experience but lack in the entertainment aspect for me. However, when it comes to class discussions, I feel involved, interested, and enjoy interacting with my peers about different topics that interest me. Summary: Today in class, we read over and annotated the 2013 AP Lang FRQ, practicing our skills for making claims and choosing our own positions. Reflection: Practicing our responses for the AP Lang FRQ helps prepare us for when the time comes in May for us to take the actual AP Lang FRQ. I also got to practice my own experience in making claims, which could aid when forming my own argument body paragraphs when supporting my ow...

Describe something you will never fully understand.

Prompt Reflection: One thing that I will never fully understand is being a male in our current society. Nothing too complex; I've just recently come to the realization that while I think I understand and I think that I can put myself in the shoes of a male, I'll never fully understand the feeling. Scientifically speaking, the only true thing separating females and males is our hormones and tiny genetic differences. However, I think in the broader scheme of things, I've had to come to terms with the difference in experience imposed on both genders by society... No matter how similar men and women might be, the difference is almost unimaginable. Summary: Today in class we wrote and discussed on writing/forming argument body paragraphs. Reflection: This was good, as knowing how to properly format your argument body paragraphs is imperative when writing important papers. This proved useful in the exercise we took part in later in the week, where we formed our own argument body ...
