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 8/29/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we presented our work. The first group was the first half of the chapter. They had an interesting illustration, and some good question. I think I answered all of group 1’s questions. Group 2 had an interesting illustration also. In my group, Kyla was the summarizer and I was the questioner. I think I had pretty good questions, I’m sure everyone was drained by the time my group went up.

Reflection 9/30/21

 Today in Mr.Rease’s American Class, we worked on the first step of the project. We made clusters with five subtopics. Each subtopic had 3 extra topics to them. It was better than yesterday because we had an extra mind. Alisha was a lot of help, I think I can speak for Natalya and I that we couldn’t do the brainstorming by ourselves.

Reflection 11/29/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we read a passage. It was a frame passage, I think that’s what is was called. In the passage a man was asked by his young daughter if he killed anyone, to which he respond “of course not”, but he lied. He told the actual story to the reader, how he killed a man for simply walking by, as he was trained to do. It triggered internal conflict to which he regrets killing the man and he wants to tell his daughter the truth. It was pretty good, and we had a series of questions to answer that wasn’t hard.
