Daily Writing Prompt 1 (Metaphor)


Coffee. Since I was younger, I've never liked bitter tasting drinks, but it was freshman year of High school, I fell in love with coffee. Could it be because of the smell or the bitter taste? I still haven't figured it out. There are numerous ways to make different kinds of coffee, some can be made with hot water, whipping coffee, some need filtering- depending on your liking of it. 

Sometimes, I'd wondered if coffee is like life. There are numerous ways to make different kinds of coffee as there are numerous choices/decisions we make in our everyday life. Every morning, I have to choose what kind of cup I want to drink my coffee in. This morning, I chose a cup that has texture that feels soft, smooth and welcoming to hold. It also looks beautiful. Surely, the coffee in this particular cup tastes no different than any other cup. Then I had to decide whether I want hot coffee or cold- I decided that I will go with iced coffee for today. Lastly, I wasn't sure how I wanted my coffee. Since I'll be doing a 10 hour shift today- I had my coffee light with 1 sugar. 

Coffee is like life. Everyday, we make minor/major choices.

My mom said “I do my best to let my children choose their own paths. My oldest daughter, loves pink clothes, but she also loves animals and cars. My youngest daughter is developing her own little personality, including an obsession with Buzz Light-year. My hope is to let my children to make their own choices and give them confidence to feel at ease with those decisions”. My parents wanted us to be happy with whatever we played with. Given, I loved all my toys but I just really felt a connection to my board games. My parents were open to letting us play with whatever we liked and because of this, I, had a positive impact on development because I am very confident i...

Literary Mantra

My literacy mantra is related to "understand what you're reading". I have read multiple research that links between background and understanding and how it can affect children's reading. Culturally relevant texts are those that children can connect to and draw back knowledge to make meaning. I agree with the fact that when children are reading they should be able to connect it with their background knowledge and experiences. Research has shown that our background and understanding of the world affects our reading. Therefore, children should be able to make connections through their readings; text to self, text to world and text to text. As a result, culturally relevant texts are the way for children to succeed in their progress towards and- reading comprehension is perhaps the key to literacy. Therefore, connecting children to culturally relevant texts facilitates that comprehension.  For so many years, I've always wondered why reading texts and understanding it w...
