Story Map

 Today in class we started a project that will be due on Tuesday the day after labor day, it is relating to the "two kinds" story we have been reading in class and finished on Wednesday. I think the project will help us connect to the story better by sharing personal connections with it. we are answering six comparable event questions and connecting them with a picture, and map. I feel we then can interpret the story better and maybe even feel what she felt. The project website and map are cool and a fun idea and the questions are good relating to the story.

Describe what you did over the winter break (use at least 5 words from Vocabulary Lesson 10 in your paragraph)

 During the winter break, my boyfriend and I went to Colorado with his family. Our trip started with a hike in the Rocky Mountains, where there were really pretty landscapes. Despite the imminent cold front, we wanted to make the most of our trip. My boyfriend’s imperious attitude sometimes felt like an impediment to our fun, but he has enthusiasm for skiing. One day, while exploring the village of Breckenridge, we went to an old chapel, which some locals seemed to like a certain idolatry. In the evenings, we would gather around the fireplace, and his dad told impious jokes that were actually funny some of the time. The whole thing was unforgettable and really fun and left me with an appreciation of snow.  Today in class we got a piece of paper with 14 squares and had to come up with a comic book strip including our 15 lesson 10 vocab words to be completed by the end of class.

Easter Sunday was yesterday, a holiday full of traditions for many people. What holiday do you look forward to the most each year, and why is it your favorite? Share what you usually do to celebrate it and what makes it meaningful or fun for you."

 My family is atheist, so we do not really go all out for holidays except for birthdays. My favorite holiday would be my birthday, and others, that sounds very selfish, but not just mine, others' too, especially my mom`s, because I get to be in charge of it. I also get to make a cake for every birthday, a lot more when I was younger, for everyone, including extended family, but now I just do it for family because of time reasons. For easter we had a brunch and an egg hunt, and then I went with my boyfreinds family to church, they are catholic, and then we had lunch.

Describe a place where you feel the most at peace and explain why.

 A place I feel the most at peace is always at my grandparent's lakehouse during the summertime. We have been going every year with all of my family since I was a kid, we plan out one week where everyone including family from other states come into town and all stay in the house. It is really peaceful and beatiful up in the mountains and we always have dinner cooking competitions so there is always good food. I get to see family I have not seen in a while and relax. We have a boat up there so we are also able to do water sports and activities on the lake, me and my brothers really enjoy tubing. Today for our virtual assignment we read letters 56-60 in the color purple and answered 7 disscusion questions in Canvas. The chapters reflected on the racism Nettie sees in New York and in the African countries, plus her relationship with Samuel.  It also discusses Celies new found individualism with her new found skill of making pants and how she now feels in control of her own life.
