Prompt: Write about a fear you have overcome.

Prompt Response -
A fear I have overcome is my fear of blood. When I was a kid, blood would always make my skin crawl or make me gag. I always hated looking at scars or scrapes, but at the same time, I was always intrigued by them. As time has gone by, with shows and other media, as well as learning about the circulatory system and other things, it hasn't bothered me as much.

Summary -
Today in class, we worked on a packet about types of claims and evidence, and finished an old worksheet.

Reflection -
Today, we discussed types of claims from a reading.
