Thursday

Our teacher wanted us to create a poem. Sound easy right, but he wanted us to create a metaphor with the topic we chose. So that was not easy for me to do, but I created one it might just not be the best, but it a metaphor for my topic. Creating a poem is when you do not have to create a metaphor. We use metaphor all the times, but we never notice it. I just have to get use to brainstorming instead of just going right into it .

Today, In class we read Reading to Write by Stephen King. It was a short essay.  The short essay relates to me by striving for success. Like you want to succeed in something, so you willing to do anything to fulfill it. If you wanted bad go get it. That what I got out of it. I saw more to it than wanting to be a writer. You can read that short essay and get a lot of it.

We did not get to have class due to the homecoming Pep Rally.

Peculiar Wednesday

Today was different in a way. We had an open discussion on questions the teacher ask. The one I felt was kind of difficult to make a decision was the one when you are a leader leading a group of people, you come upon on two paths. One was either y’all all are going to die or survive, the other was 90% is going to live and 10% is going to die. Honestly I will end up choosing the 50/50 chance, because the other one is some might survive some might not. It was very interesting to discuss.

Today, In class I presented my project of the four vocabulary words I choose. I was nervous as usual when I have to present infringe of people. Ambiguous was the word I liked the most , because basically it means to make one or more interpretation. The picture I chose was was man or lady walking through a outlet of stores or something like that. The picture had a twist to it it wasn’t just no man/ lady walking it was also a face portrait into a day in fall. It was really interesting to me. The presentation I felt was different from everybody else was Jada, because she demonstrated her words with her own actions. It was funny, but unique. Other than that I had an great day in class today.

Today, In class we got into groups. Each group was assigned a question dealing with health. For example the group I was in was assigned “What would make a person stop smoking, lose weight, and exercise?”. So we had to make five columns, so we filled the column by the group number we had. It was interesting activity to do. I think we should do more activities like this. Other than that I had an decent day at school today.

Today, In class I learned two new Rhetorical Devices. They were more interesting to me than any other ones. Even though those words were new to me, those devices both relates to Hypophora. Other than that I had a great day today.

My teacher was absent today. I have an good day like always.

Wednesday

I have a great day at school today in general. Even though I miss second and half of third block, because of an important test. At the end of the day it was worth taking it. Today, In fourth block we learned about Litotes and Hypophora. Litotes was harder than Understatement. The hard part of writing one, because saying is the easy part. Hypophora is easy to me, I basically get answer my own questions. It was actually great lesson and great exercises for each one we learned about. Other than that I had an great day in fourth block.

Today, In class we started our lesson on Rhetorical Devices. I learned about when I was in a summer program at University of South Alabama. We only got to the second device today, because of time. Understatement was kind of difficult to do, but I will get it eventually. It was warmer than usual today. I have a pretty awesome today.

Today, In class today we had a lecture on listening. Whether you know it or not listening and hearing is not the same thing. Listening is the act of comprehension. Hearing is a physical mental process; active learned. Those words might look like they have the same definition, but do not. A person can have a conversation with another person and the person could be hearing but not listening. Other than that I had an amazing day in class as always.

Today, In class we got into our groups, and went over a section on a test. We eliminated the totally incorrect/somewhat correct. Then we circle the correct one. It was quite interesting to me, because it shows that some of the answers can be tricky. I had an overall good day in class today.

Today, In class we did the multiple choice part of the EQT for AP Language. The test was ok, but once of again we were time. Time managing is hard during a test, which make me short in doing my work. Just because I worrying about the time. I’m really not worrying about what I made, but I am. This is my first time, and first timers do not go plan as well. I had a pretty decent day in class today.

Today, In class we typed our EQT essay. We had an 1hour and 15 minutes to type our paper. When it come to a test or any thing dealing with time. I tend to worry about the time a lot. I finished it. It was not that hard. The only hard part was not using contraction, and using pronouns. I am use to doing those things. I finished just before the bell rang. I need more practice on doing time essays. I valuable every little time I had. It was just a soothing class period today.

Thursday

Today, In class my group presented Chapter 16 in the book Wild. I was nervous, but I got through it. I’m happy about my grade. I had exceptional partners, could not ask for any better ones. Other than that I had an decent day.

Today, In class we went straight to presentations. Chapter 14 was quite interesting to me, and Chapter  15 was okay to me. The two groups had great presentations. Also, the questions from both groups was great to me.
