Explain your preference, describe what made that type of text more engaging or accessible for you, and reflect on how understanding your preference might influence how you approach future readings.

Prompt Response: The Play was the most engaging text that we have read since we as a class had to participate in it and I feel like having that experience was better since we all participated and read together. The story for the play was very engaging too it lead a great plot and narrative and that for me was probably more of the better things that we have read. Hopefully we get to read more poems as it kept everyone engaged. Summary: Today some groups presented the chapters that they have read. Reflection: Doing this project was one of the weirder ones since we had to teach and ask the class what thoughts they might have.

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.

Prompt Response: If I had to write a poem about myself I would most definitely be about what is going on in my life now since what is going on more now is better than reminiscing on what happened in the past. Confronting your feelings now is better than just waiting around and not doing anything about it and letting it just marinate in your head. I've been very busy and something like a poem probably clear many of the things that I'm busy with and let up some time for my thoughts. Maybe making a poem about my life would be a good idea and clear up the many things that I have going on with my life. Summary: Today we read an article about hiking etiquette and the importance of it. Reflection: Maybe its time for me to start doing an activity so I can just ride my head of any bad or stress inducing thoughts, maybe its for the better.

When you are in a mood that you do not like, what are some strategies that you use to change your mood?

Prompt Response: When I'm in a mood that is undesirable I usually just listen to music on my phone. Nothing is more relaxing than just listening to music and clearing you mind of anythings that may be bothering you. Thankfully doing this has been very beneficial to controlling my emotions very well and not doing something that I may regret later. Summary: Today we didn't do much other than present the PowerPoint we had on chapter 6. Reflection: Being focused on something else instead of one primary thing that isn't giving you the best time if often better than the thing bothering you.

Write about something you’ve outgrown but still miss.

Prompt Response: I always used to love going to the park but now I guess I could say I've outgrown it. My source of fun now if a whole lot more different then it was before as now I primarily hang out with my friends and believe me it is still fun, as fun as going to the park when I was younger but I'm busy working and doing other things in the little time I actually have. Oh how I wish I can return to the time where I didn't have to be so busy with the things I have to do. Summary: Today we worked on writable regarding chapter 7 of Wild by Cheryl Strayed Reflection: Its great to reflect on the past, dig up some old memories and its important to cherish them as you don't know if that is something you can relive again.

Write about something that you heard that you wish you could unhear.

Prompt response: I will not go into details on what I had heard but recently I have heard a rumor about a certain someone and it was one of the more weirder rumors that I have heard in a while. I was in my 3rd period class and my friend came up to me and said that his sister told him what she had seen and it was one of the more gross things I have heard in a while. If I could do anything about it I would probably want to not hear something like that again since that was one of the more uncomfortable moments I've had in a good while. Summary: Today, we worked on a PowerPoint presentation on chapter 6 of Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Reflection: Sometimes its best to try not to hear many things even if it you weren't intended to hear it you are better off ignoring it.

Much of this section focuses on Cheryl’s physical exhaustion and discomfort. Describe a moment when your body limited what you could do, and explain what that experience taught you about your mental strength.

Prompt response: A couple of years ago, I was in weight training, and on this day, we were supposed to max out weights, which meant that we had to test the max amount of weight you can lift on the bench press. At the time I maxed out with 25 pounds on both sides of the bar, and I was able to bench press it, and I thought that I could do more weight, so I increased it to 30 pounds and turned out that I couldn't do it. My body limited me to being able to do 25 pounds when I thought I could do more than 25. Summary: Today, we read the first 10 pages of Chapter 6 from the book Wild by Cheryl Strayed Reflection: Sometimes you have to listen to yourself and know your own limits because sometimes it'll come back to get you.
