Reflection 9/3/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we reviewed writing a thesis. We also had to write a body paragraph. The prompt was about the effect of owning objects can have on someone’s character. Body paragraphs are actually pretty easy to write. The hard part really is getting the evidence. I think Mr. Rease and the people who make the assignments have too high expectations of our knowledge on stories that could be used as an example for the prompt. It would be different if we knew what the prompt was mainly about or if we had a source of information we could use while writing.

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.
