Choose a word from vocabulary lesson 12 . In at least one paragraph, define the word in your own words and explain where you encountered it. Describe how understanding this word helps improve your communication or writing skills.

 Prompt Response: Macroscopic. To me , I would define macroscopic as something that the human eye can visually see. I encountered this term in biology class when I was comparing macroscopic organisms like plants and insects to microscopic cells. Understanding the term macroscopic helps improve my communication and writing skills by allowing me to describe the scale of I’m talking about. It also prevents confusion when distinguishing between observations made directly. It will also improve my academic vocabulary.


Summary: Today we had an assignment to do using 15 vocabulary words from lesson 12 . Would task was to create our own sentences using all 15 of the words. After that we had to complete exercises 3 and 4 in the vocab book. We ended the class off with doing our blog posts. 

Reflection: I learned a lot of new vocabulary words that I did not already know of. I can take these vocabulary words into life with me to expand my vocabulary and sound more educated.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

 Prompt Response: I would choose a Private island with crystal clear water, full service spa, and amazing temperature and sunsets views. A small group will be coming with me because I like to keep my circle small. I would only bring my 2 closest friends and maybe a cousin of mines. We would watch the sun rise and sunset every morning and night. We would go for beautiful and fleshing swims in the ocean. We’d cook each other food. And go out and take pictures. We’d got jet skiing and waterfall diving. We’d do fancy boat rides, try new foods, go to local shopping centers and more.  Summary: Today was a good day. We used today as a recovery day. We completed all and any missing assignments or bad grades assignments. We kept the class quiet. We ended the class by completing our blog posts.  Reflection: We didn’t have a lesson today, so I can’t give a reflection. But I would like to reflect on how I feel spring break should go for me. I’m going to get in some sleep that I’ve be...

Films and tv shows can impact the way we all perceive each other. We ended the class period we completing our blog posts.  Reflection: Today I learned how significant the dangers of a...

Describe a time when you had to speak in front of an audience. What were your fears? How did you handle them? What advice would you give to someone struggling with stage fright?

 Prompt response: A time that I had to speak in front of an audience is when I was giving a testimony at church. I was nervous shy and nervous but also determined to get my message out and what I had came upon. I handled them by swallowing my spit, putting my chest out, counting down from 5 and took a deep breathe. Some advice that I would give someone is to not look directly at the crowd, try to look at a wall straight ahead or another object straight ahead that way you won’t be nervous having to look at everybody and their facial expressions.  Summary: today in class we took notes on formal and informal language and when to use it. We practiced some practice questions to get us familiar with it and when each situation it should be used.
