Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

  Prompt Response:  Today, I found the hidden letter, and my hands were shaking and trembling as I was reading it. I couldn't believe someone had been writing to me this whole time, and I was dumb not to know. I felt very hurt and angry at Mr.   for keeping them away from me, and it made me think nobody in my life cared for me anymore. Now I see him differently than I once used to. I don't just see him as someone I'm scared of, but as someone who lied to me right in my face at my lowest. This moment matters because it gave me the courage to change. From now on, I wasnt to make my own choices for myself. Summary: Today in class, we read letters 61-65 and made one critical question for each one and wrote the answers as well. Reflection: Today was a calm and easy day.

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.
