After viewing your classmates’ digital posters and reading the feedback comments left on your work, what new ideas or perspectives did you gain about your poster? Reflect on how the feedback influenced the way you think about your creative choices and describe what you learned about the creative process while designing and presenting your poster.

Prompt Response:  Seeing my classmates projects gave me a lot of new ideas and perspectives that I didn't have before. The different creative ideas that were shown  made me rethink the way I did my poster and likely will help me in the future. Primarily in design, as many classmates had unique designs and ways they used their images which I would hope I can use for myself on future work. Summary: We watched a couple videos and answered questions, we also looked at our classmates projects and commented on them Reflection:  Seeing all of my classmates posters showed me many other ways I could've gone about the project and many other ways to think of certain individual prompts.  

Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

  Prompt Response:  The topic that challenged me the most was the one regarding "negative labels" others put upon you. This wasn't an experience I had really a lot of knowledge or relation to personally and I had to think a lot to find a good way to describe any experience I had with it. It in reality wasn't too difficult but it just required more thinking than other topics and I just had to scour my brain more for ideas on what to do surrounding it. Summary: We did our posters in class based off the worksheets we had completed the previous day Reflection: Designing the poster and finding suitable images was difficult as I wanted the images to accurately reflect what I was trying to get across with the figurative language

Today you created similes and metaphors that reflect your struggles, growth, and resilience. In a well-developed paragraph, reflect on the process. What did you learn about yourself while writing your figurative language?

Prompt Response: The first step for me was looking at the topic and trying to go through my head and find experiences that align with it. Once I had done that, I would try to think of simple comparisons in culture or in nature that reflect that memory's events. Then I would build my metaphor/simile based off that. The project made me reflect on my experiences more deeply in order to better connect them to a metaphor/simile. Summary:  We started/finished our metaphors and similes in class and prepared for the poster Reflection: The activity was difficult for me as making up my own unique expressions wasn't something that I had really done up to that point

Describe how you spent your time, any activities, traditions, travel, hobbies, or moments that stood out to you. You may also discuss something new you tried, something you learned, or how the break helped you reset before returning to school. Keep your response appropriate for a school setting and focus on experiences you are comfortable sharing publicly

Prompt Response:  My break was spent entirely in Georgia, spending many moments with my friends and going out to place. It was a very relaxed break and I didn't do anything that was a particularly new but more so things that were comfortable to me. It was a much needed break for me as I was very exhausted of school by the time it came and the break helped me chill out some before getting back into it, getting my motivation back Summary: We started working on our posters and figuring out metaphors and similes to use. Reflection:  Thinking of similes and metaphors relating to my experiences regarding the topic forced me to be very thoughtful.
