This was a great piece you are so thoughtful when talking about reflecting. You also describe the scene of the forest with lots of strong adjectives
A Moment of Reflection

This is a great piece you give your points then back them up with quotes. You as well used a block quote which breaks up your piece well giving it good flow ironically.

This is a very well written I really feel like I’m in the woods with moxie. The quote at the beginning really sets up the tone for the rest of essay.
Out in The Woods

Journaling About Place
My Experience Outside Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. -Albert Einstein I shield my eyes from the blinding light of the sun. I don’t come out in the backyard a lot; I have become unfamiliar with it. The green grass, the oak trees, the dirt-cove...
This is a nice essay and very well written personally I didn’t use a block quote cause I felt as though it wouldn’t flow well, but for yours it flows nice.

Wants Verse Needs “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” ― Philip Pullman There are few true necessities in life. In class we are reading Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. In the first chapter, “Economy,” Thoreau explains his opinions on ...
This is a great post showing how just becuase something might be boring doesn’t mean that you have to hate it and not enjoy it. With everyone leaving this year I think we all are having a “last time”.
A Reflection
My Last Time It was a cool, overcast and somewhat rainy patriots day. I was standing in formation with the rest of my band preparing for the more then two hour parade we were about to embark on. While we were waiting I began to reflect. I looked back on all the past five years of band. ...
