Reflection #18

  Today in class we found out what our grade was in class. After that we prepared for the chapter 13 group to present. I enjoyed their critical thinking questions and themes. The critical questions was deep and was something I could relate to. The themes also stood out to me. Overall the presentation was very good and I got a better understanding of chapter 13.

Reflection #16

  Today I was absent.

Reflection #15

  Today in class we went over new rules. After we went over the rules we got into our groups and worked on the chapter. Me and my group went over things we found and which ones was best. We later read chapter 11 since we didn’t get a chance to.

Reflection #14

  Today in class we was divided into groups. In the groups we are given a assigned day to do a oral presentation. We were all assigned chapters to do the presentation on. My group was given chapter 16. We wrote the directions down in other to do the assignment. My group discussed what order we wanted and the way we wanted to organize everything.

Reflection #13

  Today in class we wrote two short paragraphs on what you can’t deny and what you don’t remember. I enjoyed both topics because I could actually talk about them. Later on in the class we created a character using everybody ideas. This activity was very fun because everybody got to express theirselves. We created two different characters that was just living a crazy lifestyle. I later on got a early dismissal.

Reflection #12

  Today in class we took a quiz on chapter seven. I was so not prepared for that quiz at all. The rest of the class we mainly focused on the exact definitions of race, nationality, and ethnicity. I never knew the exact answer of ethnicity. We also read a poem called “ The Negro Speaks of Rivers” by Langston Hughes. The poem really stood out to me, but at first it was kinda hard for me to understand what it fully meant.

Reflection #10

I was absent today

Reflection #9

  Today in class we went over part one of “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed. We discussed critical questions that my other classmates had. Most of the questions made me put myself in her shoes. Part one mainly focused on her mom dying and Cheryl and Paul’s divorce.

Reflection #8

  Today in class we started reading the book wild by Cheryl Strayed. In the first few pages it mainly talked about her losing her mom and her picking up a book by faith. One part that stood out to me was how she was twenty-two and her mom had her at the age of twenty-two. I’m really enjoying the book so far, some of the things the book discuss really stand out to me and makes me wonder. I am looking forward to starting on chapter two.

Reflection #7

Today in class we read and talked about blame, value, and choice. Switching the tense is a good way to control a argument. I really liked this chapter because it was something I could relate to. Later on in the class we reviewed our test on what does it mean to be an individual, I got a better understanding of how to brainstorm and back it up. We also was given a prompt on what does it mean to own something. At first, I didn’t know where to begin because I was trying to come up with ideas no one else had. Instead of doing that I ended up keeping it simple so I won’t get confused or lost.

Reflection #6

I was absent today.

Reflection #5

  Today in class we read a book called " Thank You for Arguing". In the book it explained how everything is a argument. It also explained the different between a fight and argument. A argument is done skillfully and a fight is to achieve the agreement. The book was very interesting it had real life situations that I can relate to.
