Reflection 9/2/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we reviewed thesis statements. The prompt was about something we think is overrated. I could not think of anything, so I borrowed one about being a celebrity from someone else. It seemed like an easy prompt and I agreed with it, so I was able to back up my claim well. Some things other people chose were relationships, Lebron James, and in-person shopping. For homework, we had to write a body paragraph. It is fairly easy, except for the evidence. If I have to use prior knowledge on the AP exam, which I likely will, I probably would not do too well on the essay portion. Maybe in the future I will learn more about what is going on in the world.

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.
