People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

I felt the need to step away from something when I went to a party, and people started smoking. I'm not the type of guy to do that, so I declined, and didn't wanna get in any engagement whatsoever. Because I know what's right for me. Today we read the first chapter of Into the Wild, as well as the author's note. I'm intrigued by this book, and the end of the first chapter kind of leaves you on a cliffhanger. Then we answered questions about the 1st chapter. I liked reading the book in class today. So far, I'm having good reading comprehension on this book (which is not usually the case), so I can actually understand and follow the plot.

Intro to into the wild

I really like the look and sound of this book. I'm interested to see how it all pans out, but I think Alex is making a dumb choice. Today we had an introduction to the book that we're reading, by reading the front cover, examining the map, and doing the first part of the worksheet. I enjoyed answering the questions on the paper. The 12 things that we would take on a hike was engaging, and entertaining. I also liked it because I relate to it!

Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

For me, the easiest word to understand was culpable. I've already heard the word before, and it has a pretty simple meaning. One word I didn't really like or understand was toady. It was challenging to make a sentence using it. I really liked having to create a sentence because it gave me a better understanding for the word. And the picture helped as well. Today we made digital vocabulary cards on Adobe Express.  I liked the aspect of Adobe Express to use for our vocab. And it will all be in 1 place for the future.
