Reflection 9/29

 Absent

Reflection 9/27

 Today we ook our fences test. There were a lot more written questions then I was ecxepting but I was releived. Overall I think I did pretty good, I got sleepy during the test though and I'm worried that will effect my score, my friend had to tap me a couple times to make sure I was awake . . . oops. But I had plenty of time to take the test so I'll be ok. 

Reflection 9/26

 Today during class we went over essay writing and did some notes. Class wasn't exciting today and we just did notes, our teacher was discussing brainstorming before you start essay. The school I went to perviously had really rigorous english classes in terms of writing so I feel pretty prepared for our in class essay. 

Reflection 9/25

 Today in class we finished Fences. The book felt a lot shorter then I thought it would be but it was a pretty good play. I have this expecting for books in school to be really boring but Fences wasn’t too bad. It was nice to have days in class to just read and discuss the book, it was a much easier way to start the day then jumping into a bunch of work.

Reflection 9/18

 Today in class Mr. Reese wasn't here and we had a subsitiute. Our sub was pretty goofy and she joked around a good amount which put us in a good mood. Mr. Rease left us 19 questions on the book we've been reading in class so majority of the period was spent silently answering the questions while listening to music. I really liked class today though because of pajama day, everyone was so comfy and the overall modd seemed a lot more mellow and happy. 

Reflection 9/12

 Today in class we read Act I: Scene I of Fences. I have been absent for the past 2 classes so today was more of a catch-up for me. After getting my wisdom teeth removed, I've been so drowsy and exausted so reading in class today was very nice. We took some notes on each of the characters and discussed the use of certain discriptive language when describing each character.

Reflection 9/6

 Today was our block period, we started class with some questions. Mr. Rease wanted us to discuss what words offended us and write about it. I've been called many things especially as a child but nothing stood out to me then the words "b*tch and sl*t". I picked these words because they are so commonly used to degrade women, talking to my friends about it, they picled similar words. I learned that not matter what, shallow insults that are directed towards a specific feture on a person (weight, race, gender, etc) are the most hurtful. We read a poem that focused on this and it really stuck out to me. I think everyone should use kinder launguage and stop staying awful things casually because you never know how its going to affect someone in the future. 

Reflection 9/5

 Today was our first day back from labor day weekend. We had a little catch up class today so I got to take my quiz on The Rockpile and I think I did pretty good on it. Another teachers class has now combined with ours, so the next couple periods are going to be us trying to catch everyone up. Most importantly, a accident happened over the weekend that resulted in 3 students death. We talked about it during class but I think they need to be remebered by the school and comemorated by the students. I feel like there's a lot of hatred going around as a result from the accident and I hope people start focusing more on the students who passed instead of the people being rude about their deaths.
