Analyze how you’ve adapted to the demands of this course over the past week, and evaluate one strength and one challenge you anticipate as we progress, justifying your insights with personal examples.

 Prompt Response: Over the course of this past week I have developed new interests in the subject. I also have discovered other strengths that I have when it comes to this topic we are learning about. The strengths that I felt I have developed was that I can connect thematic elements with different contexts of the stories. I can easily see the themes with the nature contrast that we had talked about in class. One challenge I faced was that using historical pieces of the text and then relating to modern terms. I will just pay more attention to these smaller details.

Summary: Overall I felt that I had a good understanding of the origins myths we had read. I will take notes and learn more about themes and their elements.

Reflection: I got used to this class by learning to look for deeper meanings and cultural values in Native American creation stories instead of just reading them.

 Prompt Response:  I think making a PowerPoint helps me understand the story better than just doing a worksheet. For my PowerPoint, I had Mr. Shiftlett. I really had to go into depth and see what he and said to understand his character. it made me pay attention more to his personality.

Write about a fear you have overcome.

 Prompt Response: A fear I’ve overcome his back on my bike gift or crashing last year. I had a race on the second day of the race some girl collided on my back wheel and it cost me to flip over my bars and all over on the ground. I passed on the ground and I was screaming for help, but then I actually passed out. I woke up on the sideline stand and was stuttering and couldn’t remember much a couple weeks later after my crash and concussion had healed up I had to get on my bike. I was with a group and I was gonna do it. They thought of crashing and getting terrified me Sopha for weeks I was going super slow, hitting my brakes and swerving a ton. I had literally realized that me crashing actually it wasn’t my fault in the first place my writing skills had nothing to do with the crash so I kept telling myself that and over the next few weeks I felt more and more comfortable and I’m safe to say that I have fully recovered and overcome the fear.  Summary: In class today we had work...
