Reflection 2/3/22

Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature we analyzed a Maya Angelou poem. The Black Family Pledge goes over how African Americans does not pass down their knowledge. Because our traditions aren't passed down we are uneducated and at the bottom of the "food chain". I've read some of Maya Angelou's poems and they are amazing. I'm glad Mr.Rease didn't just start making us read black poets, and we have been all school year.

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.
