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: When writing the similes and metaphors I learned that it can be difficult to write about certain stuff even when I thought I could do it. I learned that I overthink too much and like to doubt myself about my answers I give. I learned that I ask a lot of questions and seek help from my peers because my mind goes blank sometimes. I learned that when writing I like to put myself in the shoes of the person and thing I'm writing about. For instance, being compared to other people and feeling the emotions that person is going through.  

Summary: Today in class we wrote similes and metaphors about overcoming failure, pressure to succeed, and many more.

Reflection: Today in class I learned we had to write 6 similes and 6 metaphors about life's challenges.
