Reflection Apr/19/23

  It's a wednesday and I had eoc testing for this class!!  I can't believe that it's already this time of year!  I only have one more year of high school now and Junior year is almost over.  That's so crazy to me.  We took part one of the test today which we had to read two opposing passages, answer multiple choice questions about the passage, and then write an essay according to the two passages.  Everyone was assigned a different essay format.  There was either informative or argumentative.  I got argumentative.  To be honest, I didn't even finnish my essay; I ran out of time!  I got down three really good paragraphs (5+ sentences) and then the last two were the hardest for me.  I think I only had like five sentences in the fourth paragraph and literally three in my conclusion.  The problem is that I didn't know how to come up with new points for each paragraph without souning repetative because I said everything I felt I could say in the previous paragraphs.  Besides that, I think I did alright.  I'm excited to see my scores.

Writing Prompts from Cheryl Strayed. (1. inappropriate for the occation) 4/21/23

 It'd had been the summer of 2014 and I was over at my grandma's.  As you get older, an unspoken expectation of you gets larger.  In this case, the expectation had been knowing how to carry myself at my grandmother's church without having to be corrected.  Back when I did go to church, I dressed formal but it wasn't strict because It was my mom's church.  The difference between my mom and my grandma's church was simply demographic, and my grandma's church was full of old or conservative Jamaicans.  I decided that one morning I would wear some shorts and a tank top after the service was over which my grandma didn't approve of.  I ended up having to go home; I wasn't complaining though.

Reflection Jan/20/23

 In class, Mr.Rease gave us a writing prompt. We had to think of a topic that we thought was overrated. The topic I went with was “wanting to fitting in”.  We then had to come up with five points to go with the main topic. My subtopics were: insecure, dependent, bad clout, superficial, and temporary. Of course, we had to elaborate on those subtopics. We put them in a graph where theres a circle in the middle and the small circles extending from it. Next week we’ll turn them into essays.
