Reflection 1-10-22

 Today in class we learned about rhetorical devices. The first one we discussed was hyperbole, which is an exaggeration. The second was understatement. An understatement is the force of a descriptive statement that is less than what one would normally expect. Third we went over litotes, which are an emphasis on a point by using a word opposite to the condition. Fourth we learned antithesis, this makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideals. Lastly we were introduced to hypophora which is  asking a question then proceeding to answer it.

Reflection: 4-13-22

 Today in class we read an article and answered multiple choice questions. I did much better on this one than the first one. I have gotten a hang of the process of elimination. I'm confident I'll be able to do this well on test.

 Today in class we read  a short story that wasn't really short. The was called Rockpile by James Baldwin. We had a discussion  about the story in class. The story was about a hangout for older kids called the rockpile. The rockpile was considered a bad place for younger kids because it was dangerous.  One day Johns brother Roy decided to go to the rockpile even though their mother told them not to. While at the rockpile their was a gang fight and Roy was injured. The father tried to blame John but the mother defended him.

Reflection: 11-11-21

 Today in class we finished up our benchmark assessment. We only had to complete our extended response question. We had to write 2-3 paragraphs. I’m confident that I did ok on my test. This was the most challenging part of the test. Only because I don’t know how to make an essay that short.
