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: I really liked this class, especially when we studied poetry. It was the most fun part for me. The assignment I enjoyed most was when we got to write our own poem about a special memory. I connected with poetry because I finally learned how to read and understand what poems mean, which felt like a big win! For next semester, I know I need to work on making the first sentence of my paragraphs, called the topic sentence, much clearer.

Summary: Today in class we presented our poem posters.

Reflection: I learned I need to stop talking while other people are presenting.
