Prompt: Today, we started our discussion about culture and food. What is one dish from your culture that is a must-have as a representation of your culture? Identify the dish and explain what it is and why it is significant.

 Prompt Response: One dish from my culture that is a must have is fish and chips. This dish comes from my Scottish culture. I like to make this dish with my family when it is a special occasion or maybe if we are having people over that have never had this particular dish before. The dish consists of beer battered or breaded haddock served with a side of french fries and tarter sauce. I really enjoy eating this dish; it is really yummy.

Summary: Today we watched a documentary on different foods made in New Orleans and how that affected the culture there.

Reflection: I learned more about New Orleans culture through this video.

Prompt: Write about a time when you realized you needed to look out for yourself in a silly or harmless situation—maybe dodging a pop quiz, escaping a group chat argument, or remembering at the last second to submit an assignment. How did choosing wisely make your life easier?

  Prompt Response:  Quite a few times in my life, I have had to submit an assignment really close to the deadline because I totally forgot about it. Most times I would turn it in roughly 1 hour before it is due but one particular time, I turned it in just seconds before it was due. It was on a Friday night and I was out having dinner with my family, we got home pretty late after we had finished eating and I decided to call my friend to see if he wanted to play video games with me. We began to play and we were chatting about what had happened during the day. Eventually he brought up that we had to turn in some assignment that night. I had totally forgotten about it and I rushed over to my chromebook to check the time. The time was 11:58. I knew I had just seconds before it was late thankfully I turned it in on time. Summary:  I forgot about an assignment and had to turn it in right before the deadline. Reflection:  I need to be better at being on top of my school work...
