Words shape how we think, write, and interpret literature. Think about a time when learning a new word or understanding a specific term helped you better analyze a text, express an idea, or make your writing stronger.

There have been many times when learning a new word or understanding a specific term has helped me better express an idea and better analyze a text. One specific time is when I was reading a text and was able to find out what a certain word meant using context clues. This always helps me become a better reader and better with vocab. Over the years, as my vocab got better, I have learned so much.

Summary: Today in class we took a test and finished our one pagers.

Reflection: I bettered my test taking skills.

I continued to believe this until I got older and my parents told me the truth.  Summary: Today we worked on claims more.

Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

When I was young, my parents forbade me from riding my bike out of the neighborhood. They did this because they were fearful of the busy roads outside of our neighborhood. They also worried about the danger of me being a little kid riding around. Although they had set this rule, I rarely followed it. Summary: Today we worked on our PowerPoints. Reflection: I learned how to better analyze quotations from a text.
