In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you

 Prompt Response: My break went well I spent a lot of time relaxing and going out with friends. I spent Christmas Day with family and we had a feast and presents. On New Years me and my family exploded fireworks. Over all I enjoy this break but it went too quick in my opinion. 

The first goal that I want to achieve this year is to save up for a car. This goal is important because it will make transportation a lot easier for me, and it will allow me to become more independent. To accomplish this goal, I will save up at least $500-1000 a month. By May 2026, I plan to have finished my goal.

The second goal that I want to achieve this year is to become fluent in French. This goal is important because I'm planning later in life to travel to France for vacations. To accomplish this goal, I will do at least an hour or two of French daily lessons. By May 2026, I plan to have finished my goal.

The third goal that I want to achieve this year is to gain weight. This goal is important because I'm done with being skinny and want to be around 150 or 180 pounds. To accomplish this goal, I will eat around 3,500-4,000 calories daily and exercise a lot. By May 2026, I would like to weigh at least 150 pounds.

The fourth goal that I want to achieve this year is to get all A's in all my classes. This goal is important because last semester I got 2 B's with one class almost becoming an A. To accomplish this, I will try my very best on tests and quizzes and turn all my work in on time.

As Celie’s world expands in these letters, she begins noticing new things about the people in her life. Write about a moment when you suddenly noticed something funny, shocking, or unexpected about someone you see every day (a family member, a classmate, or even a teacher). How did that new discovery change the way you saw them?

  Prompt Response:   My teacher once unexpectedly shared a story about her father dying from stage 4 cancer, and it really stayed with me. Hearing it made me feel deeply sad, not only because of the loss itself but because I could sense how much it must have hurt her. I remember wondering how she managed to carry that pain while still showing up for us with patience, strength, and encouragement every day. Her ability to keep moving forward and still support her students showed me what resilience and dedication truly look like. Summary:  Today in class we continued reading The Color Purple and answering questions on Writable. Reflection:  I got better reading comprehension and analysis skills.

These letters show how Celie learns from the people around her, even in small ways. Think of someone in your life who influences you in a positive, everyday way—a friend, relative, teacher, or teammate. Write about what you’ve learned from them and how their influence shows up in your daily life.

    Prompt Response:   My 9th-grade biology teacher influenced me by making the subject clear and approachable. The easy-to-follow notes we took in class helped me truly understand the material instead of just memorizing it. She consistently encouraged me to do my best, reminding me that I was capable of more than I realized. That encouragement has stayed with me, and I still carry her message of always striving to do my best today. Summary:  Today in class we continued reading The Color Purple and started answering questions on Writable. Reflection:  I got better reading comprehension and analysis skills.

Blake uses the chimney sweepers to expose how society ignores suffering. Reflect on a time when you noticed someone being treated unfairly or saw a situation that didn’t seem right. How does this experience connect to the emotions or ideas expressed in one or both poems?

    Prompt Response:  The feeling of unfairness is when your middle school teacher excessively praised one student for "hard work," despite everyone putting in equal effort, strongly connects to the selective indifference Blake exposes. Just as the teacher chose to praised the effort of one student while ignoring the efforts of the rest, wealthy society in Blake's poems chose to focus only on their clean chimneys, allowing them to ignore the brutal suffering of the young sweeps. This dynamic reveals how those with power often fixate on a convenient, narrow narrative like a "hardworking" favorite which allows them to rationalize or simply overlook the deserving efforts and basic humanity of others.  Summary:  Today in class we read poems about child chimney sweeps and worked on the worksheet analyzing one of the poems. Reflection:  I got better teamwork skills and poetry analysis skills.
