Reflection 8/11/21

Today at school I had an okay day. In first period (AP US History) we learned about Spanish conquistadors and what they did in the Americas. In second period (Physics) we learned about speed and velocity. Im not a huge fan of history or science so these are 2 of 3 out of my least favorite. Third period (Pre Calc), my favorite class, we went more in depth about the unit circle and it was pretty cool. I love math it’s like solving puzzles. Finally fourth period, where we learned about comprehending complex passages. I went to work right after school, I work at Popeyes. That job is pretty easy for $12 an hour, actually easier than my second job at Domino’s. Today wasn’t that eventful and it was okay. Looking forward for more fun days.

Reflection 2/10/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we made a commercial. In the commercial we compare two competing restaurants, Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. We had to make the commercial using rhetorical strategies. We planned the commercial then acted it out. I think we did a pretty good job executing all the points, I ran out of breath because we did a lot, lol.

Reflection 8/23/21

 Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we learned about Rhetorical Situation. I learned a rhetoric means the art of arguing effectively. Rhetorical situation will always be given in the prompt’s introduction. A new word I learned is exigence. Exigence in rhetorical situation, is what motivates the speaker to argue. Speakers/writers that uses rhetoric are called rhetors. 8 themes of rhetorical situations are: exigence, speaker, context, purpose, text, message, audience, and genre. We watched Keysia Lance Bottoms’s speech, Go Home, and broke down the rhetorical situation.

Reflection 3/21/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we read chapter 5 of Thank You For Arguing individually. We were asked to summarize it, give three facts about the chapter, and how we would use it in the real world. This chapter defined the meaning of decorum and gave examples. It explains the importance of decorum and why one should have it. One important fact I took from it is that it doesn’t work for every crowd or person.
