Reflection:2-7-22

 Today in class we analyzed an eulogy. The eulogy was written by Margaret Thatcher. We also discussed the format of the rhetorical analysis essay. I was really taken aback by the fact that we only have 7-10 minutes to analyze and plan the essay out. I’ll have to practice very hard to be successful. Todays class wasn’t very energetic, but it was still informative.

Reflection: 8-13-21

 Today’s class was lack luster. We didn’t do anything interactive. We started class off with an assessment on terms we haven’t looked at or thought about since writing them in our notebooks. Since I did do a bit of cram studying I think I did pretty well on the test. After completing this test we did a pre-test. This test wasn’t very hard either, it was boring though. I also didn’t get to complete my extended response question.

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: 11-10-21

 Today in class we started our benchmark assessment. There were two different passages and 9-10 multiple choice questions for each. There was also 3 short answer questions. On the short answer questions I used the race strategy to answer the questions. This section was pretty easy.
