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: I have adapted to this class demands by managing my time with all my other classes. I have made sure to do all my work on time. One strength is I will be able to manage the classwork of this class, but one challenge I anticipate is remembering to do my homework as the workload increases in my other classes. Last year, I had been overwhelmed by the work and homework given and this caused me to get a couple B's. However, I know what to do better this time and I am hoping I do not have that same issue this year.  Summary: Today in class we started off with a origin myth assessment and then worked on finishing our group presentation. Reflection: Today has shown me a rough idea on how the assessments will be in this class. Although the assessment was not an accurate representation of how assessments will be like in this class it gave me a rough idea of what they will be like.

Prompt: Describe a real-life situation in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship you experienced.

 Prompt Response: A time in which jealousy negatively affected a relationship of mine was when my friend got jealous when I started talking to a new person. My friend got jealous that I was not hanging out with him as much. He eventually started to ignore me and distance himself from me without talking to me about it. This ultimately led to unsolved problems and eventually we stopped talking. Summary: Today in class we read "The Jealous Father" and worked on a group presentation. Reflection: "The Jealous Father" story and researching the Cree Native Americans has given me insight on the beliefs and traditions of some of the Native Americans.

  Prompt:  Write about a meaningful object or place in your life that carries a story. Prompt Response: A meaningful object in my life that carries a story was a bracelet that was given to me by my mom. It was originally given to me when I was a young child and has been with me ever since. It was with me throughout my growth and development. Although it does not fit my wrist anymore, I still treasure it and keep it safe in my drawer. Summary: Today in class, we read and discussed the Navajo Creation Myth and worked on discussion questions. Reflection: The Navajo Creation Myth has shown me what myths look like. It also has shown me how the Native Americans explained how certain things came to be, such as life on earth.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

 Prompt Response: A time I felt connected to nature was when I went to the beach. I was on the coastline of the beach, the sand felt warm to the touch and the ocean waves crashing onto my legs. The ocean water was cool and balanced out the warmth of the sand. The water also had a vibrant blue color to it, like the blue of a watercolor painting. I could smell the fresh saltwater breeze, a briny smell that came from the ocean. At that time, everything seemed so beautiful. Summary: In class we learned about the characteristics of Native Americans and also learned about the characteristics of myths, urban legends, and religion.  Reflection: I learned that Native Americans are not as they are portrayed and live among us. They pursue careers like we do and live lives just like us. It made me realize that Native Americans portrayed on media are just stereotypes.
