Reflection 3/17/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we went over hasty generalizations. A hasty generalization is an assumption made on one group based on an inadequate sample. An example of a hasty generalization is that football players are academically challenged. Hasty generalizations are not good when arguing. A slippery slope isn’t good when arguing as well. Slippery slope is making a conclusion from something but not having enough evidence. We learned what not to use during arguing.

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.
