Prompt: After reading Chapter 1 of Into the Wild, consider your first impression of Christopher McCandless. Based solely on the events and details presented in this opening chapter, do you believe McCandless truly understood the risks he was taking when he entered the Alaskan wilderness? Why or why not?

 Prompt Response: My first impression of McCandless is that he is a foolish person. Based solely on the events of the opening chapter I do not think McCandless understood what he was doing. I think this because he was under prepared to face the conditions of the environment he was going into. Summary: Viewed the introduction to the book Into The Wild. Reflection: I learned that you cannot outrun a bear. Knowing this will help me if I ever get into a situation like this.

Prompt: Today you worked on creating your Vocabulary Digital Cards in Adobe Express. In one well-developed paragraph, reflect on the assignment by explaining which vocabulary word was easiest for you to understand, which word was most challenging, and how creating your own sentence and selecting an image helped strengthen your understanding of the vocabulary. Use specific examples from your work.

 Prompt Response: Of the vocabulary words we learned today, the one I found easiest to understand was bumpkin. This was the easiest one to understand because I hear people use the word often. The hardest word for me to understand was toady. This word was hardest for me to understand because it was a word I have not heard before. Creating sentences, the sentence I created for the word toady was "Caleb is a toady person towards people in power." I also used a person bowing to a king for my image to help me remember the meaning of the word. Summary: Completed Vocabulary Poster on Adobe Express. Reflection: I learned that the word toady means a person who flatters; sycophant. Knowing this will better increase my vocabulary as I progress throughout my academic career.
