Newsela article

 Today in class we had a sub and completed a Newsela article assignment with two writing prompts, check your understanding, and a quiz. From this assignment I learned that the Asian immigration percentage will surpass the Hispanic immigration percentage in 2055. I thought this was fascinating as I don't know much about immigration. I liked the lesson but it was a little confusing to navigate because there weren't really set instructions on it and I haven't used Newsela much. I'm feeling a lot better today than I was yesterday but i'm also changing my migraine medication so it's still a little rough.

Vocabulary

 Today in class we got vocabulary words and had to find images that went along with them. We also had to explain why we chose those images. I learned that it's harder to find pictures for things than I might have thought. I didn't really like this lesson because I thought it was very tedious and I lost interest very quickly. Today I am feeling ok. I have a bit of a headache and i'm having a little trouble focusing but other than that things are going pretty well. I really want to go home though.

Why I want a wife questions

 Today in class we finished and discussed the questions for the essay we read yesterday. I thought this was interesting because it was cool to see different peoples perspective on it. I enjoyed this assignment because I am very interested in gender roles and why things are the way they are. Today I am feeling alright. I have a doctors appointment to discuss possible meds for my ADHD and we are going to get accomodations soon so that's nice.

Presentations

 Today, we presented our projects on the poem we read Wednesday in class. I learned more about self expression and why it's important to not conform to the societal standard. This impacted me because a lot of the time it is easy to just try to run with the crowd so it's nice to hear about people who don't and how they feel. I liked this assignment and presenting because it was fairly simple but also allowed for discussion and collaboration. Today, i'm very tired and my head hurts really bad because I suffer from chronic migraines (whomp whomp) and it often triggers normal headaches too.
