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

 The time I felt connected to nature was when I was around 10 or 11 years old, outside with my childhood friend and my sister. We were playing in the playground when we felt little raindrops hit our skin. My friend said we should go and talk to Mother Nature, begging her not to let it rain because we didn't want to go home. So we all went around the back of some building where the woods were, and we screamed with our lungs, "Please don't let it rain, Mother Nature, please." We repeated this like 5 times, and surprisingly, the raindrops slowly stopped. 


We took notes today about Native American literature and talked about the different vocabulary we will be learning. 


I learned the difference between a myth and an urban legend today.

Reflect on one step of the rhetorical analysis process that helped you understand the process more clearly. Explain what you learned during that step and how it improved your ability to analyze a speaker’s message.

Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).
