Reflection 10/14/21

Today In Mr.Rease's American Literature class, my class took part two of the benchmark. I was really exhausted so I took a nap. In the middle of my nap, my body decided it was okay to let one rip... without my permission. I was sleep when it first started but at the end of it, I woke up. I heard the class go crazy and laughing. Everyone quickly noticed it was me because it was very quiet. I pretended to be sleep to save myself some embarrassment; it was still embarrassing, I was also trying not to laugh, because my classmates were saying some funny things. I just couldn't wait til it blew over, but they didn't forget to remind me when I woke up.

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.
