As a student, who, in a lack of a better word, hates reading, it is quite difficult to find a book that sparks my interest. There is a very small collection of books I have actually enjoyed, and A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park, was one of them. Even though it was a class read, which I am usually not a fan of, it was written very well and I like how the author wrote a parallel plot. In the book, it told the story of two characters who had to walk to survive, and in the end, the author did an excellent job at connecting their stories.

My proudest moment in language arts this year was being able to present. Although it may sound vague or boring, I am extremely happy that I could publicly speak to the class. As an introverted person, presenting has basically forced me to have the courage to talk to an audience, albeit a small one. Not only that, but I was able to get great grades on these presentations. I know being able to speak to a crowd is very important and necessary as a grown up, so I am thankful that I have practice to further improve my ability to so.

Socratic Seminar, a formal discussion among students in the class were we talk about a certain topic. Two topics we have discussed in the past were about civil rights, after learning about Black history, and the biggest impact of A Christmas Carol on the world. Personally, I don't enjoy talking myself because I am extremely shy, but I love listening to everyone's viewpoint, especially about our civil rights topic.

I enjoyed writing this assignment very much. It consisted of the class thinking of a company or person to write to. They could've written a complaint, suggestion, or a compliment. I wrote to Rebecca Sugar, my favorite animator who works at Cartoon Network.

This was one of my favorite assignments because we were able to choose a song that has a deeper meaning and its impact on the world. My song was Imagine, by John Lennon and the message was "if the world didn't have any division, it would be a better place."

In this assignment, we had to write a poem about two characters in the novel, A Long Walk to Water. The format was each character having their own part of the story on opposite sides of the slide, and similarities between the two throughout the book in a middle column.

An assignment where the class wrote an obituary/eulogy for an inanimate object. Besides that, there had to be at least 25 puns in the piece. This was one of my favorite assignments to complete and I wrote mine about music.
