After reading Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity," which explores the poet's daring craft, write about your most absurd personal experience. Describe a single, specific incident that felt ridiculously bold or foolish. Ensure your response is vivid, concise, and captures the essence of absurdity.

 My most absurd personal experience occurred when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I used to jump off things from high places. It would stress my parents out because they thought I would get hurt. I ended up hurting my knees badly one time and decided to stop doing it. 

Summary: Today in class, I analyzed the poem "Constantly Risking Absurdity."

Reflection: Today in class, I learned more about an extended metaphor.

During the break I spent time with my cousins. We watched movies and played a bunch of games. I also tried something new, my uncle taught me how to make a pie from scratch and customize it. It was very fun and I am looking forward to making another one with my uncle. This gave me a fresh start to the break.

Prompt: Describe your personal approach to creativity. What steps do you follow when you’re working on a project. Tell me about a project you created that you were most proud of.

 My personal approach to creativity is to brainstorm, choose an idea, and create.  These steps help me with creativity because it gives me a stronger structure for my project. A project I am most proud of was my 9th-grade biology project. I say this because we made a biome out of a shoe box, and I had lots of creative ideas that I personally liked. Summary: Today in class, I did vocab and read a short story. Reflection: Today in class, I learned new vocabulary words.
