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

Prompt Response: I wish I could unhear all the lies that ruined my longest friendship. They couldn't be honest because they wanted to seem better than they were. I know they needed help, and I couldn't be there for them. I think that if they hadn't lied, we would still be close. I'll never truly know though.


Summary: We worked on our Wild presentations.


Reflection: I realized that there are many ways of keeping on. I will use this to help myself move on from hard times.

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. I realized that we had grown apart and that there wasn't anything I could do about it. I realized that overtime you meet new people and lose your old friends, and that is just how life goes. 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. I will use this to continue fighting for women's rights.
