Today in class we learned something new. We learned about inductive and deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is drawing a conclusion that is certain. Inductive reasoning is drawing a conclusion that is uncertain. We did a helpful work sheet with 20 questions to help us understand how the reasonings differ and how they’re used. Today class was pretty fun.
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.
