How has class been going for you so far?

 Class has been going pretty good. I have learned a lot without being overloaded. I also made a new friend who is very sweet. I have always wanted to get better at analyzing poems and this class is helping to teach me how to do that. Right now I have an A in the class and I would like to keep that all year long. 

Today in class we analyzed more of Dickinson's poem and began to work on our Dickinson Soundtrack

I learned about how death doesn't have to be a bad thing.

If you had to write a poem about your life RIGHT NOW, what would it be about? Explain your answer in at least 4 to 5 sentences.

He shows me unconditional love and happiness no matter what mood he is in.  absent absent

Some skills that I believe will help me be successful after high school are communication, time management, and learning how to balance everything in my life. All of these skills will help me not only in school but also in life.  Today in class we continued to work on Rhetoric skills. I learned about many new types of Rhetorics.

Reflect on a time when you paused to appreciate the beauty of nature, much like the speaker in “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Where were you, what did you notice, and how did that moment of stillness make you feel or change your perspective?

 One time that I paused to take in the nature around me was at horseback riding. At my barn, there is this mini lake and I love to walk around it on my horse. One of these days, it was the perfect weather, I had a really good ride, and the sun was at the perfect golden hour. I was walking along and paused for a moment to really look around and appreciate everything around me. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I wanted to live in that moment forever. Today in class we started our one pager poem projects I learned about another one of  Robert Frost's poems.
