Prompt: Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

Prompt: 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 Response: I learned a lot of things about myself that I would have never expected through figurative language. I learned my identity is just how I present myself and how I perceive myself as and not what other people think of me.

Overall I felt that this assignment was a good way to practice my creativity skills. Summary: We created similes and metaphors based off our own life. Reflection: I learned how to create similes and metaphors creatively.

Prompt: If you had to describe how you show love using only three objects (for example: a playlist, a hoodie, a late-night snack, a long text message, etc.), what would you choose and why? Explain what each object represents and how it connects to your personality.

 Prompt Response: If I had to pick one object to describe how I show love, it would be a specific fast-food order. This represents my personality because it shows that I’m a loyal person who really pays attention to the small details that matter to the people I care about. Knowing that someone wants a burger with no onions, extra pickles, and a specific sauce shows that I’ve actually listened to them and want to make their day a little easier. To me, it isn’t just about the food; it’s a simple, thoughtful gesture that proves I’m always looking out for my friends and family in a way that makes them feel seen. Summary: I was not at school. Reflection: I was not at school.

Prompt: Today, you learned how to complete a rhetorical analysis planning guide step by step, from identifying the rhetorical situation to analyzing devices and effects. Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

 Prompt Response: Learning to identify the rhetorical situation helped me the most because it forced me to look at the speaker’s specific audience and the reason behind their message. I realized that you can't truly analyze a text without knowing who it’s for and what’s happening in the world at that moment. This step improved my analysis by helping me see how a speaker’s environment actually shapes the specific words and devices they choose to use.  Summary: We continued to work on our essay. Reflection: I learned how to effectively plan.
