Reflection 3/28/22

Today in Mr.Rease's American Literature we had a AP prompt. The prompt was about if comedians should be off limits to jokes. We referred to the situation that occurred last night at the Oscars, where Will Smith got up and slapped Chris Rock in the face and cursed him out because of the joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head. We were given 5 articles where they all said Will Smith had no right to assault Chris Rock. I don't he should have checked him with violence, he could've kept it at words being exchanged. It was the wrong place and time for him to do that for the simple fact this is a white award show where you possibly may receive an award. Will Smith slapping him was completely wrong timing. Chris Rock shouldn't have joked on Jada because they've already been going through enough this past year in the media.

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.

Reflection 8/10/21

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we did a diagnostics test. He taught us the process of elimination. In a multiple choice question there are three types of answers. There are 2 completely wrong answers, a somewhat correct answer, and the best answer. To differentiate the wrong ones you have to see what least correlates with the question. The best one is usually stated word for word in the passage and correlates best with the question. The lesson was pretty informative, I just wish some of my classmates weren’t so incompetent.

Reflection 8/12/21

 Today in Mr.Rease’s 4th period American Literature class we learned about informal and formal texts. In class he gave us a passage with no context, we just read it. After we read it we all realized that there wasn’t really any theme or moral of the story. He then gave us a topic, which half of the class had already figured out midway through the passage. That was interesting to me because I didn’t get it until the prompt, which says a lot about myself. It was pretty fun breaking down the passage with the 2 different prompts. I’m glad I had a little nice time in 4th period today.
