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:  The easiest word for me to understand was sedative. I was familiar with this word before we had this assignment. This allowed me to better understand the word when I researched it.

Summary:  I used the vocabulary poster assignment to better my understanding of the word sedative. Reflection:  I hope to improve my vocabulary in the future.
