In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt:  A time when I chose a path that looked cool or fun would be when I would sneak out of my house at night. I knew it wasn't a smart or responsible path but i did because I thought it would make me look cool. I did it because I wanted people to see different things like if i was also a bad kid and belonged. I would do it because I was influenced by my friends at the time. Now I see that what I did was wrong and irresponsible of me. I don't do it anymore because I can get very serious consequences if I were to do it.  

Summary: Today in class we read and annotated the poem "We Real Cool."

Reflection: Today in class I learned what is cool and what isn't.

Which aspect of creating a poem do you enjoy the most? Tell what it is and explain why

 Prompt: An aspect that I enjoy the most when creating a poem would be of love. I choose it because it sometimes can be the easiest. But i also enjoy writing about love because i myself have had personal experiences as well. Even though i like writing about love or relationship wise i also like to write about other stuff when i want to try something different. Like in this case instead of love when writing my poem i choose to write about dreams. Which is something different then what i usually do.  Summary:  Today in class we started to create our own poems to share with the class.  Reflection  Today in class i learned the requirements needed for the creation of our poem.

You are currently working on a soundtrack for selected Emily Dickinson poems. With that in mind, if asked to choose a song to describe your life right now, which song would you select and why?

 Prompt: A song that I would choose to describe my life would be falling behind by Laufey. I would choose that song because I feel like I can relate to the song a lot. I say that because even if I told everyone I'm not interested in anyone right now I would feel very lonely because I don't really have one really. Like when in the song it mentions, "everyone is falling in love but I'm falling behind." I feel like I can really relate to that part of the song the most.  Summary: Today in class we took the test on Emily Dickinson poetry and finish our song soundtrack.  Reflection: Today in class I learned that I got a 63 on my test today.
