Reflection 1/14/22

 Today in Mr. Rease’s class we took a quiz on rhetorical devices. Most, if not all of the class did pretty well. I had 14 out of 16 correct. After we took the test, we learned a few more rhetorical devices. We learned about Distinctio (a rhetorical form in which the writer elaborates on the definition of a word, to make sure there is no misunderstanding) and simile. I did not think we needed to go over simile, but I actually learned new things about it. I learned that you can also use so and than in similes. That is what we did in class today and we have a 3 day weekend.

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.
