What is the most challenging part of working in a group? Discuss a time when a group assignment did not go as well as you planned and how you learned from that experience.

Sometimes, some of my group mates don't agree with me on what to do. So to resolve it, we normally just ask for assistance from the teacher, or from another classmate/group. But if we're not allowed to do that, we do a trial and error with each to see which would be better. I remember making a roller coaster in 8th grade science, using foam and other smaller resources provided. I had an idea on how to make the coaster with the most speed, but one of group mates had another idea that he was certain about. So we tested both, and found a solution.

Today we went on writable, and completed part of an assignment on rhetorical analysis. We also took notes on what is a rhetorical situation. Finally, we read and analyzed students' essays and graded them.

I learned about rhetorical situations, and got experience on what a teacher does when grading.

Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

Last year in AP world, there was an assignment due at 11:59pm on Friday, and I planned to finish it when I got home from school on Friday. But when I got home, I played basketball for an hour or two, and came inside and fell asleep unintentionally. I woke up from the nap at 11pm. Then I remembered about the assignment. I thought it was over for me. But I had to make the decision to not play video games with ALL my friends, and complete the assignment in record time. I ended up finishing it with 10 mins to spare, then I played the game. Today we finished reading "The life you save may be your own". And watched the short movie as well. ' I think the short story was engaging, and an overall good read. I got better at reading comprehension, and I'm ready for the quiz tomorrow.

Imagine you are learning about Hispanic/Latino heritage for the very first time. What would you be curious to know about the traditions, foods, music, or celebrations?

I would want to know about their whole culture. I would want to try their foods and see their celebrations and how they are different than our own. Today we did some more practice with clusters. We had the topic of "Overrated", and we had to put 5 things we thought were overrated. I got better at learning how to format and get ideas for what to write in my essay.
