Monday 11/11/24 - A time I felt completely lost

A time I felt completely lost is when I went trick or treating on Halloween as a kid with my neighbors. I was probably about 6 or 7 years old, and this was my first time going trick or treating. I went with two of my siblings and two of my neighbors, all of which were older than me. We stopped by a few houses in our street and neighborhood, and as time went on we ventured further and further away from home. We began making turns and crossing roads we were unfamiliar with, to reach houses that seemed more like they might have more candy. After about an hour and a half, we realized we were completely lost. This is when things took a bad turn, as it started raining, which made the cold weather even worse. At this point, we tried to trace our steps back home, but it was of no use. Also, none of us had cell phones to call with as we were all relatively young. Thankfully, eventually the neighbors dad found us on the road, and drove us back home, after frantically driving around to find us.

Second NewsELA Assignment - Monday - 9/23/2024

 Today, we read an article about the dangers of using Google for self-diagnosis, as well as the best ways in which to get medical information being a doctor. Additionally, we completed a short quiz, and wrote a constructed response about the article. I learned that oftentimes health websites are not trying to provide the most accurate information to the reader, but rather boost sales through advertisement of certain products or treatments. I liked reading this article because I, myself in the past have found myself doing similar things, such as Googling my symptoms for a possible diagnosis, even though I know better now, it gives me something to look back on. Today, I'm looking forward to visiting my cousins.

Today, we took our final test on "Fences" by August Wilson. It was a lot of questions (45) but the questions weren't that hard, and I got a 91. I learned that I got 4 questions wrong out of 45. I liked that how each character in the story represented certain ideals or morals, such as Bono with loyalty and Troy with hard work. I feel like today is Friday, because the different block schedule messed up my perception of the week.

 Today, we were introduced into a new project, where we were randomly assigned new group members. We were introduced to a story called "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai, and we read a short background about her life. My group chose the theme of isolation vs. community. I learned that Desai's life and family was caught in the crosshairs of the timeframe of Indian modernization after it gained independence. I found it interesting how she described hiding her profession from her children. I'm feeling ready to get adjusted into my new group and work on the project.
