Discuss something meaningful or memorable you experienced over the break, or reflect on what you felt most thankful for during that time.

Prompt Response: Over the break, me and my family went to Disney World. During this time, my brother cooperated for many nice photos with the rest of our family. He is usually very difficult to photograph, so it was really special for the whole family when he worked with us. I was really thankful for the photographs because I know how much they mean to my parents. I know that they will cherish them for a long time. 


Summary: We read more of The Color Purple.


Reflection:  I learned that people may seem big and scary, but they can end up being cowards that need to feel better about themselves. I will use this to further analyze how Mr.___ behaves throughout the book.

Write about a moment when you had to step out of your comfort zone.

Prompt Response: I was never good at comforting people. It's my worst nightmare to comfort someone incorrectly and make things worse. Despite this, my friend needed someone to talk to and I was going to be there for them no matter what. I wish I was better at words when it came to things like this, but I did my best and they got better in the end, so I guess I didn't do too badly. Everyone has to work on their weaknesses sometimes after all. Summary: We worked on our character posters. Reflection: I realized that finishing your work ahead of time saves a lot of trouble. I will do my best to continue to finish work early.

Think about the most stereotypical film you have ever seen. This could be a movie that represents a specific culture, race, gender, or group in an oversimplified or unrealistic way. In your response, explain what film you are referring to, what stereotypes were present in the film, and how those stereotypes shaped your understanding of that group at the time

Prompt Response: In Mean Girls, there is the stereotype that the perfect girls are skinny and girly. The film also depicts nerds as being a bunch of guys that love math. At that time it made me think that pretty girls were selfish and shallow. Summary: We watched stereotypes about Asian and black women. Reflection: I learned about the stereotypes from my culture. I will use this to fight back against bias.

When Celie says, “The God I been praying and writing to is a man. And act just like all the other mens I know,” she expresses disappointment, betrayal, and disillusionment. Discuss a moment in your own life when something you believed in turned out to be different than what you imagined. How did this realization shape your identity or worldview?

Prompt Response: I believed that I would always be friends with my first best friend. We were best friends for around seven years before we stopped being friends.

Everyone needs to move on. Summary: We read more of The Color Purple and wrote a poem. Reflection: I realized that women have always been fighting for more freedom.
