Reflection 9/7/21

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we reviewed writing argumentative essays. He gave us 20 minutes to write a body paragraph and thesis statement. The assignment felt pretty difficult to me since I already dislike writing, and every time I thought of a claim, it felt like it was the same as the first one. The prompt was about mistakes being essential to the human experience. I agreed that it was, and the one claim I had was that people learn from their mistakes more than they learn from their successes. I also found it difficult to find evidence for my claim. However, I am likely overreacting about the assignment, since other students completed it successfully. If I recall correctly we have a benchmark test tomorrow. I do not think it will be too difficult.

Reflection 3/2/22

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we had questions about The Yellow Wallpaper. We went through them together as a class. The questions seemed easy, but I don’t think I could have done it by myself. The questions were more about what things in the story mean rather than what was in the story. It was an easy day. We might read another story from the book tomorrow.
