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?

Write about the most shocking or “craziest” news story you have ever heard. What happened, and why did it stand out to you? How did people react to it, and what does it reveal about human behavior?

Prompt Response:   I think that the most shocking news story I have ever heard was back in 2017 when there was that shooting in Las Vegas where 60 something people died and a ton more were injured. Of course shootings aren't that unique unfortunately but the size and scale of this one and one guy being behind it all. It is something that really shakes you to your core and caused a pretty big upset for people. Summary: We took a quiz on the story Reflection:  The quiz was pretty difficult and I had to go over it a few times to get it right.

Write about a time you saw or heard one of these words outside of the classroom — maybe in a movie, song, social media post, or book. Describe how it was used and whether the context helped you understand the word better.

Prompt Response:  I have seen contemptuous used before in different things. It is used often to describe someone that quietly holds scorn or dislike towards someone and you can often seen in their actions. I see it used when someone might dislike someone that is on the same group as them, so it is not outwardly hateful but there is a clear dislike. Summary: We worked on a new vocab lesson Reflection:  The new words that we learnt in the vocab lesson were very useful and I expect to use them.

Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

Prompt Response:  In my life both of my parents are pretty lenient on punishment and being strict. It hasn't really been a factor to me as I don't really ever get in trouble and I don't have to face discipline very much. I think that maybe if I were a more troublesome kid then it would have more repercussions on how I feel about things. The lack of punishment may give me free reign to do a lot of things that I wouldn't do otherwise Summary: We went over the story and went over our connections Reflection:  Working on the story made me think more about the complexities of discipline.
