In “We Real Cool,” the speakers make choices that seem exciting, bold, and rebellious, even though those choices lead to consequences. Write about a moment in your own life when you followed what looked cool or fun, only to realize afterwards that it wasn’t the smart or responsible path. What influenced your decision, and how did your perspective change later?

 Prompt Response: A time followed something that looks cool and fun is when I was in 7th grade and me and my friends decided we weren't going to pay attention in class. This hurt bad because since we weren't paying attention we didn't hear we had an assignment due at the end of class. This caused our grade to go down and we weren't able to participate in a class party. This influenced me because I wanted to have friends that thought I was cool and fun to hang around this eventually changes because I learned that I don't need anyone to think I'm cool or fun. 

Summary: Today in class we read a poem called We real cool. 

Reflection: Today in class i learned what the saying jazz june means.
