Many holidays center around traditions. Describe one tradition that is important to you or your family and explain why it still matters (or why it no longer does).

 Prompt Response: One important tradition in my Hispanic family is getting together to make and share a big homemade meal during the holidays. Everyone helps cook dishes like tamales that have been passed down through our family and we spend time together. This tradition still matters because it keeps our culture alive and brings our family closer, even as we get older and busier.

Summary: Today in class, we kept on watching the Color Purple movie while making comparisons with the book version.

Reflection: I understood better by watching the movie instead of the book.

Creating a video is more than just placing pictures together—it’s about capturing a feeling. Explain how you tried to bring your assigned letter to life in your Adobe Express video. What mood were you aiming for, and how did your editing choices help you communicate the message or emotion of the letter?

  Prompt Response:  In my Adobe Express video for letter 5 of The Color Purple, I focused on capturing the heavy and fearful mood Celie feels. I chose dark and sad images to reflect her sense, and steady pacing helped emphasize the emotional weight of her situation. The song I used was a sad sound because the tone was sad and emotional. Together, these editing choices helped communicate the sadness and tension of the letter. Summary: Today in class, we watched our classmates' video project and presented. Reflection:  I love how everyone communicated their letter through the video project.

In Letters 46–50, Celie begins to see Albert more clearly—his flaws, his regrets, and the ways he changes when he is no longer in complete control of her. Their relationship slowly shifts from fear and dominance to honesty and distance. Write about a relationship in your life that changed over time as you grew older or more aware. What made the dynamic shift, and how did your understanding of that person evolve?

  Prompt Response:  As I got older, I began to see someone close to me more clearly, including their flaws and struggles. Our relationship changed when I started setting boundaries and speaking up for myself, which helped me understand them in a more honest and realistic way. Summary:  Today in class, we read the book The Color Purple by ourselves again and completed a worksheet. Reflection:  Today was also another quiet class time.

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 (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

  Prompt Response:  I spent my holiday playing with my niece and spending time with my family and friends. I stayed home for the whole break, which was boring but a calm break, except for 1 day.  The first goal that I want to achieve this year is getting closer to God .   This goal is important because I've been wanting to learn more about my religion but never had  intrest  until now.   To accomplish this goal, I will make sure to at least read the Bible every morning and night and at least annotate 3 verses each time, by the end of the year I will have known more about my religion and what everything means in the Bible. The second goal that I want to achieve this year is to get my driver's license.   This goal is important because I want  to  help take my mom to work and go out with friends without an adult.   To accomplish this goal, I will get any family member to help me out on the weekends, take online tests, and watch videos ...
