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.

Teaching Spelling Reflection

What did you learn about the topic? I learned about the importance of spelling and its relation to pronunciation and reading fluency.

Performance Task - Metaphors Matter

 " In many ways storytellers are alchemists. What is storytelling?" In order to be a great storyteller then you need to be able to take a story and make it interesting. This is similar to how the alchemist was trying to turn regular metal into gold; this was because gold was worth more. If you can take a story that may be boring but tell it in a way that creates excitement / more worth then you can be considered an alchemist. The art of storytelling is hard, two people can tell the same story but the way it is told can elicit certain emotions that make the story way more interesting. The storyteller also understands the type of emotions that the audience is "here" for. Do they want to laugh, cry, or question the scene?

Poetry Module (Extended Metaphor Poem)

Dreams My dreams are fire  They spread recklessly  My thoughts make me tired Positive, Negative,  essentially  My brain creates the fire  My body bears the consequences  I keep reaching higher  I run through all of the fences  I wake up relieved  I wake up sad  I often feel deceived  But it's not that bad Because dreams are an escape It is something we all desire  I go through my days  Waiting until I am tired Dreams spread with fire  Dream only when tired  Dream dream dream Dreams are what I desire  Derrick D’Amato  (Recording of Poem)
