Reflection 3/4/22

Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we debated. We were all given a topic and it matched with someone else’s. After writing positions, we were asked to come up and read them. My prompt was, “Do curfews keep teens out of trouble”. I said no, curfews don’t keep teens out of trouble. My assignment partner said that curfews does keep teens out of trouble. We didn’t have time to present.

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.

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.

 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.
