Prompt: 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 - After viewing my classmates’ posters and reading their feedback, I realized that some of my metaphors were not as good as others. Their comments showed me how I could do better and improve my wording, and how my messages were interpreted. I learned that the creative process involves not just expressing our ideas, but also revising them based on others’ constructive criticism to make the final product better. Summary - Today in class, we reviewed our essays and commented on our classmates' posters. Reflection - Today, we thought about our essays.

Prompt: 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 finding my identity section. I think this is because I still don't think I've fully found myself, and still don't know what I'm going to do later in life. I worked through this by making my example represent something still under construction instead of complete. Summary - Today in class, we started a poster assignment with our similes and metaphors. Reflection - Today, we thought about visual representations of our similes and metaphors.

Prompt: 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 - Writing the similes and metaphors helped me realize how much I’ve grown and improved, even when I didn’t notice it before. The writings made it easier to understand challenges like self-doubt and overthinking instead of just feeling overwhelmed by them. I learned that I’m more resilient than I thought, and that growth is a process that takes time. Summary - Today in class, we started an assignment where we wrote similes and metaphors. Reflection - Today, we thought about similes and metaphors.

Prompt: 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 - During the break, I studied for the SAT and practiced lacrosse. I also slept a lot and did some homework. I wish I could've done more, but the break was pretty uneventful. Summary - Today in class, we read a poem and started an assignment. Reflection - Today, we thought about the poem we read.
