Reflection 9/21/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s we had to write an essay. We had a 40 minute time limit, since that is the estimated time per essay on the AP exam. The essay was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I did not finish, but I probably would have if I had about 5 extra minutes. The prompt was about the value of safety and freedom. I did not know exactly what the prompt was asking. I argued that safety was more important than freedom. I do not think I did a bad job, despite not finishing. I am more confident in doing 3 essays in the AP exam now after doing the assignment.

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.

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.
