After reading the first five letters of The Color Purple, reflect on your thoughts and emotions as you experienced Celie’s early voice and struggles.

 Prompt Response: When we read the first five letters of The Color Purple in class, I was surprised by how honest and direct the writing was. The style felt powerful and intentional. Because it’s written in the voice of a 14-year-old girl, it feels very real and emotional. Even though the story is sad, I’m interested to see how it continues.

Summary: Today in class we answered and discussed pre-reading questions and began reading The Color Purple.

Reflection: I got better reading comprehension, writing, and discussion skills.

Summary:  Today in class we were introduced to the play Fences and began reading it. Reflection:   I got better skills reading out loud and understanding of play structure.
