Prompt: In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt: When I first started driving, I thought going a little faster made me look confident and experienced. One afternoon, I was speeding down the road when I saw a terrible crash happen right in front of me. In that moment, the “cool” feeling disappeared, and I realized how quickly things can go wrong. I slowed down right away because I understood I wasn’t just risking my own life, but everyone else’s too. After that day, my whole perspective changed, and I decided being safe is way more important than trying to impress anyone.

Summary: Today in class we read “We Real Cool”.

Reflection: I learned what we were doing in math

In “The Interlopers” by Saki, Ulrich and Georg view each other as interlopers, outsiders intruding on their land and their lives. Think about a time when you felt like an interloper or when someone else felt out of place in your world. How did that situation affect relationships, emotions, or outcomes?

 Prompt: When I use to play baseball my friends and I always played with each other for our travel season. Their dads were the coaches and so was my dad. We played from about 7U to 12U together, we were basically family. Sadly eventually people started leaving and sooner or later we were all gone. So I had to go a real travel team, I tried out for this brand new program called Atlanta Fuego and I knew absolutely nobody. I felt so out of place and almost like I didn't belong there for a while. Then I kinda started to mingle with the new kids and coaches and I grew pretty fond of them a couple of months in. But it was very weird and hard for me to make it feel like home again. Summary: Today in class we completed a common lit since Mr. Rease was out. Reflection: I learned what the definition of Interloper was from the story "The Interlopers".
