After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 Prompt Response: A time when focus was highly demanded of me was when I took my first drive as the driver inside the car. This demanded my complete focus as a vehicle can be described as something uncontrollable if not focused . It was a risky sitation since it was my first time and I could have potentially gotten others hurt as I wasnt the only person on the road and my mother was also in the passenger seat. If I was not focused I could have caused damage to the car or a life ending situation. With my concentration I was able to safely arrive at my destination. 

Summary: During the class period when read the poem "Out Out" by a very known poet Robert Frost. We watched a short video about his life and career. After that we preceded to annotate the poem as the class and discuss what was happening. We then started on an assignment in writable that asked us questions about the poem. 

Reflection: I reflected on the poem as it was needed in order to answer the questions on writable. I reflected on the various ways I could interprete who the author meant by "they" in the last lines of the poem. I made conclusions on the poems themes as it was concerning parenting and a tragic accident due to the doctors that was looking after the boy as he went under.

tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your faovorite word and how often do you use it?

Prompt Response: My favorite word right now would be "bewildered". The reason for this is because I find myself using it more especially now that I am back in highschool to describe my reaction to things happening around me. This word has been frequently used even outside of the topic of highschool with how the world is going politically. I find it right to use as I hear and see things that don't make sense to me for people to be either particpating in or advocating for.  Summary: During class today we spent the entire work period finishing and completing our power point presentations. We had time to complete the blog post for today as well.  Reflection: I finished majority of my slides and made sure I met the criteria. I overlooked eached slide making sure they are in enough detail to meet the requirements and fully connect to the idea expressed in "Birches" by Robert Frost.

Describe a time when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you.

 Prompt Response: A time when someone's words had a lasting impact was during a sermon that I was watching. This had a great affect on me as I carry these words with me every day. The speaker talking about how God is very unpredictable in how he works . This greatly improved my understanding of my faith which continued to have a impact on me.  Summary: In class we went over what we could improve on in our agruement paragraphs. During the class time we worked on a sheet with some examples of claimes and evidence written by some of the students. We analyzed the examples of claims and evidence in order to see how they were incorrect. We then took the practice into account to better our argument paragraphs for the "Abuse" story.  Reflection: I reflected on what I could have did better to improve my agruement paragraph. During the practice I realized that I could be a bit more specific when stating my evidence as it is coming from my own experience and observations.
