Reflection 8/25/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we continued notes about arguments from yesterday. We used a Donald Trump speech as an example of appeals and to show parts of an argument. We also used a Malbaro advertisement and OJ Simpson’s case as an example. Towards the end of class, Mr. Rease gave us homework because supposedly, most people were not paying attention. We have to analyze a speech that was given during a crisis and show how it uses crisis rhetoric and appeals. The assignment is similar to what we did with Trump’s speech in class. Aside from the homework (because we usually do not get any other than the blog), it was a pretty plain day.

Reflection 9/30/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we continued to work on our projects. We had to think of a topic to make a prompt. Mr. Rease said all the groups were going to switch prompts when we finished. No one in the class expected that. It is somewhat annoying though, since we have to do research and stuff just to switch topics. I think my group received the best topic, but hopefully we can get the second best after groups switch topics. Our group will probably still do good on the project, regardless of the topic we have.

Reflection 2/7/22

 Today in class we went over steps to right a good rhetorical analysis. We analyzed a eulogy by Margaret Thatcher about Ronald Reagan. Mr. Reader taught us how the formula for writing a good rhetorical analysis essay. The formula was pretty much the same as the one we had for the other essays. He wrote an example of a body paragraph to demonstrate what a good one looks like. He also did that with the entire essay. Tomorrow he is going to show us what bad essays look like.
