Prompt: Political cartoons often use exaggeration and symbolism to make a point, and they can also serve as important visual sources for analysis. What is being criticized in this image? What does this source suggest about the issue, and what does the cartoonist want the audience to question or reconsider?

Prompt Response: The political cartoon implies that Trump is using this war in Iran as a distraction from all of the hate and war already occurring in the U.S already. Trump wants to start away from all eyes being on ICE and the discrimination int he U.S at the moment so he doesn't look bad to the public. It also shows how Trump is causing more and more issues without resolving any of them.

Prompt: Describe a real moment in your life that felt like the beginning of a powerful story. Tell what happened, and why it felt like a turning point in your life?

Prompt Response:  A moment in my life that felt like the begining of a powerful story was my first misison trip. Every summer my church takes a group of teens on a misison trip, my first mission trip was at the borde rof Texas. I had no phone, no tv just service work. Which may sound of a nightmare to some but it ended up being one of the best weeks of my life. This trip made me relize what I was born to do, every year since I have continued to go on a misison trip it's gotten better and better. I build stronger connections with my friends, God and myself every trip. Summary: In class today, we took notes and started a rhetorical analysis paragraph on MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech. Reflection:  Doing the claim, evidence, and commentary practice helped me understand how to write a rhetorical analysis better.

Prompt: As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

Prompt Response:  I learned a lot throughout the 1st semester. My favorite topic has been poems; I feel that they're engaging and keep my attention. In most classes, I'm not usually the one to answer questions; rather, in this class, it's different. In American lit, I feel that there is typically more than one right answer to the question, which keeps me thinking and helps me get creative. My favorite assignments were the ones that required drawing and finding deeper meaning in different poems; it kept me intrigued. I do still feel that I need to work more on personal writing, in preparation for writing my college essay. I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge in this semester, constantly being challenged while still being on top of my work. Summary: We finished our last two blog posts for the semester. Reflection:  none

Prompt: In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

Prompt Response:  I spent my break with the flu, but was still able to enjoy it because I was surrounded by my family. I got a chance to see my grandpa and cousins, whom I see only once or twice a year, which made my Christmas. The goals I would like to achieve this year are to become more organized, drive alone on the highway, babysit more, and find a new hobby. Each of these goals is important to me because they all help to grow responsibility and give me more ways to use my free time rather than being on my phone. 1. The first goal I would like to achieve this year is to become more organized.  This goal is important because it will help me keep on top of my work and will allow me to live in a clean workspace.   By April, 2026, I plan on accomplishing this goal by spending 10 minutes a day cleaning up little things in my room so it's constantly clean. I will also start using a planner to keep my life and work organized. 2. My second goal I would like to accomplis...
