Daily Writing Prompt 1 (Metaphor)

This coffee is my dark black blanket of warmth. Inside this cup of coffee, there is a joy to be found and warmth to be gain. Not only that, but it also wakes me up with just one use. The dark blanket of warmth is there to guide me in the morning or even at night when I'm feeling very tired. This dark black blanket of warmth is what gets me out of bed and ready to take on the world; it uncovers my lazy eyes and pushes me out the door. I bring it around with me throughout the day to make sure I feel secure to make sure I feel okay. This dark blanket of mine forms to anything it wants, it will even stain those who try to absorb its love. I am addicted to this dark blanket of energy and love.


How come I can not go without this dark blanket of warmth? How has it captured my heart? It is a very occasion that this blanket of warmth and I disagree about anything. It is nice to have something that does its job every single day and does not complain. The more I see it, the more that I want it in my daily life. One may say that I am addicted to this dark warm blanket and I would have to agree. Without it, I can be grumpy and feel sleepy all-day! But when I have it, my eyes are wide open and my brain is ready to excel at anything thrown this way.

Daily Writing Challenge Reflection on Revision

     Within the revisions, I added more details to the experience I have with coffee. I explained the coffee as my "warm blanket" and expanded on how it made me feel. The peer that I did the revisions with recommended to organize the writing more and make it more of a story. To do this, I started in the early morning and described the routine that I follow. As a morning person, I enjoy keeping things simple and relaxing. In order to add a negative side to the story, I discussed how coffee or this blanket of warmth can stain with just one touch. If there was anything that I could change about my "warm blanket" it would be that I could wear white without fear on the way to school. I also went into detail about what I do if I am heading to an 8am and have no time to make a fresh cup of coffee. It was important to mention the word "addiction" because it does make me the morning person that I strive to be although I would not say I am necessarily proud

Realistic Fiction Book Review

 The book that I am reviewing for the realistic fiction module is called "¡Fiesta!" by  Ginger Foglesong Guy. There are many reasons that I chose this book, but one of the main reasons was because it is bilingual which can be a very important aspect in elementary schools. It is common to have English Learners within your elementary classroom and to help them learn English it could be useful to have bilingual books. This type of book also exposes all of the students to different types of culture and languages that they may not be familiar with. The book has two different sets of text on each page, one is in English and the other is in Spanish. Therefore, no student is at a disadvantage and since the students are young this could benefit them in the near future when they are learning another language. This book does a great job of being interactive with the audience which will help keep all of the students engaged with the book while the teacher is reading. It also incorporates

(picture book) Book Review and group discussion on "Another" by Christian Robinson

*Possible spoiler for a picture book* We discussed this book as a group and came to the following agreement. This book is excellent for a picture book and leads to good discussions. Some of the topics that can be discussed include diversity, creativity, curiosity, and point of view. As a group, we were intrigued by the picture book but also wish there were some words at some points to make the point more clear. The words may add more discussion topics but creativity is also good. The discussion with my group was very good, we all had different points of view on the book which lead to a diverse discussion. My group mentioned that it showed the good and the bad or more of the opposite sometimes. I missed this theme but in the end, I agreed with them. Sometimes picture books depend on your point of view so it was helpful to discuss with others.  For the first book review, I will be writing about "Another" which was created by Christian Robinson and falls under the genre of a pic
