Friday 3/6/25 - When you are in a mood that you do not like, what are some strategies that you use to change your mood?

When I'm in a mood that I do not like, I try to handle and alleviate my mood in a variety of ways. I may stop what I'm doing at the moment to go outside and go for a walk, or play basketball outdoors. This usually helps calm me down and feel more relaxed and less anxious. The movement and physical activity also boosts my physical and mental state, making me feel reenergized and ready. Another way I may go about changing my mood includes listening to music, most primarily, relaxing or uplifting music. Finally, drawing and other forms of creating art also transforms negative feeling like being angry, stressed, or sad, into better feelings like being relaxed, being at peace, or even creative.

Summary: Today, we worked on creating a digital mood board regarding "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. We utilized ai image generator to create pictures to reflect the narrator's varying mental states throughout the novel. We also utilized three pages on Canva to also reflect the narrator's changing mental state.

Reflection: I more deeply realized that in the novel, the narrator's complete breakdown can be attributed to others ignoring her calls for help and being restricted on what she believes is best for her.

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.
