After viewing your classmates’ poem posters, select one presentation that caught your attention. Describe what you enjoyed about it or something new you learned from their work.

 Prompt Response: One presentation that caught my attention was Nate Dorsett's poem. I thought it was very neat how he compared life to golfing, because I also golf. I liked the descriptions of the fairway and hitting a ball down it. It was really creative and I thought he worded it well.


Summary: In class, we presented our poems.


Reflection: Reading poems can be good to learn about how people really feel, and to try a new medium for reading.

 One meaningful place in my life is my grandparents' house in North Carolina. It is a cabin on a creek in the Smoky Mountains.

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 Prompt Response: A few days ago, I was in a car crash. It wasn't my fault, but if I hadn't been paying attention, it would have been much worse.

Reflection: Situations like this can be very scary, and I'm glad that I made it out uninjured.
