Prompt: Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

Prompt Response: While writing my similes and metaphors, I found doubt and criticism the most challenging topic to create figurative language for. It was hard to think about the experiences in my life where I have been told I would not succeed in something. The topic is kind of similar to being underestimated except doubt means someone is unsure of your capability. I worked through the challenge of creating figurative language for this topic by thinking hard of smaller moments where I was in the face of doubt from others. I ended up being able to create a good metaphor. 

Summary: In class we made a Digital Poster on our similes and metaphors we wrote. 

Reflection: Through creating a digital poster of the figurative language I wrote, I am enhancing the meaning of it with visuals.
