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

What challenges have you faced when working independently or in a group, and how did you handle them? Explain how those experiences will influence the way you approach this current research project.

  Prompt Response:  In the past, working on projects independently can lead to lack of motivation for me and make it harder to work on. But at the same time working on a project as a group can be problematic as not everyone is on the same track and may not be as willing to work together. I hope that during this project we will all be able to work on it on the same track and be efficient about it. Summary: We formed our group and talked about our projects Reflection: Being able to see the future of this project and how we are going to work on it gives me more ability to figure out how to approach it
