Reflection 9/13/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we analyzed a story titled “Out Out.” It was about a boy who was doing work with a saw. He accidentally cut his hand off and ended up dying. It was a sad poem. The title did not make sense to me at first, since it was only one word twice. The meanings we came up with in class were that the kid was getting pushed out into reality, or that life can be over in a flash, coming from the phrase, “lights out.” The author said out twice to emphasize the meaning of the word, “out.” Today was an easy day since we did not have to write that much and the poem was fairly straightforward.

 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.

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.
