Write about a conversation that changed you.

 Writing prompt: A conversation that changed me was when I was in 8th grade, I was in chorus. My chorus teacher would talk about musicals, vocal warm ups, and many more. My favorite thing was watching the musicals itself. One day I bothered to ask why do musicals exist? What’s the point? My chorus teacher proceeds to tell me his favorite quote that I apply to now and is my favorite as well. "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" - Maya Angelou


Summary: Today in class we finished reading fences and started working on our character analysis project.


Reflection: Today I learned more about the meaning fences and how it was applied to the drama book.

Write about a time when you were judged unfairly.

 Writing Prompt: one time I was judged unfairly was being left out from a group of white girl. I have nothing against them but based of their facial expressions and actions towards me was different. We had to get into groups at random and learn something from each and every one of them. I joined this one group and since a few of them already knew each other they were open to other but not me. They would skip my turn and just look at me like if I just landed on this planet. Once the timer went off I never spoke, I tried to because I wanted to make new friends, but I was silenced.  Summary: Today in class, we worked on a Common Lit Reflection: Today, I learned that being judge unfairly, especially if you don’t know the person, or in general, is cruel. No one likes to be judged because it just lowers our self esteem and our personality. It sometimes gives us a reason to change.

Writing prompt:  Dear God,  Suddenly, my heart broke into pieces. Mr_____has all of nettie's letter she has written to me. Potentially, I did feel sympathy for the man. He has broken my heart. All this time, all these years, I could have heard back from my sister. To not feel alone, to not feel outnumbered, to not feel pain, anger, and most of all, love. I could have been out of this place with Nettie's help. I could have fought Mr.____ a long time ago. However.....I would have never met Shug Avery. I don't know how to feel, God, excited or angry. Is this a sin? Summary: Today in class, we continued to read independently  Reflection: Today, I learned that it is okay to feel emotions. Even tho you may not know what to do, feeling is an action too.
