 Today in class we went over our essay thesis statements and we had a bellringer. For the bellringer, it was basically just a review of the things we've been learning this past unit. Surprisingly, most of the class got the questions wrong. I myself, only got 1-2 correct answers. I'm glad he did give us this bellringer however, because it corrected my misunderstandings. When going over our thesis statements, I realized when he reviewed mine briefly, that my thesis statement wasn't as good as I thought when I wrote it. The 3 reasoning's weren't very good at answering the prompt. I'm glad he did this and I think it's very supportive when he covers each of our responses. I'm a big fan of feedback.

 Today in class we discussed a bellringer about whether education is boring or not. In my opinion, education isn't boring if you're looking at the bigger picture. But the work involved may be boring. There's also other factors. I actually enjoyed today's lesson a bit because he went over sources which helped. I was able to write a good claim and back it up with evidence from the provided texts. Overall a really good day.

Reflection 2/16/21

Today in class we started with an fun bell ringer. It took time to think about what exactly to write but, I was able to compose something meaningful. We then went over the poem ''We Real Cool".  The poem itself was rather short. It interests me to know that there are poems with not much length but heaps of meaning. This was a great exposure to a form of poetry I hardly knew existed. I am certainly glad to have read such a poem. My take on it is that because you will die one day it's important to live a fun life in your youth. We all grow up and such moments are brief in the grand scheme of things. I do appreciate the tone that the poem alludes. Overall, I really enjoyed today's lesson.

 Today in class we went over more synthesis essays. We looked at images and made claims about them. We learned that you can analyze images and make claims using the images alone or use the images as evidence. We also learned more about sources. To be honest, I am having a few issues with the recent prompts. They're pretty hard to understand without rereading them a lot. Of course I won't have time to do so during the exam. Hopefully he goes over them more or reexplains methods to comprehend the prompts.
