Reflection 1/20/22

Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature class we wrote a speech to encourage our peers not to do drugs. We first had a bell ringer to answer and had to fill in the blanks. The fill in the blanks were based on the song we read by Tupac in class yesterday. Today in my two paragraph speech I used five rhetorical devices. The five rhetorical devices I used were: distincto, procatalepsis, hyperbole, rhetorical question, and antithesis. I think I did really good on my speech and will get an A.

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.

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.
