Reflection 9/13/21

 Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we read a poem called “Out Out”. The first thing we did was guess what the poem was going to be about from the title. I thought it was going to be some being in nature, which was somewhat right. The poem was a bout a boy doing a man’s job and it goes wrong. Before we read about the poem we talked about why childhood is important and it is important to be a child when you can. The kid was forced to grow and ended up in a terrible situation. The poem used alliteration and personification, we had to find figurative language in the poem. It was pretty nice and I got the lesson pretty well.

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 8/16/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s class we were asked what was the most important moment in Black History. I wrote about the Harlem Renascence, so when I seen a poem by Langston Hughs I got excited because I kind of called the lesson. We broke down his Poem “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”. This Poem was a little easier to break down saying there weren’t as many complex words. I had an pretty simple time in class.

 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.
