Devin’s English Blog

 Today on August 31, 2022 was a wild day. The day started as normal, but I was a little tired. All three periods was going good as normal. Once it was time for 4th period, we had a substitute. She was cool and we completed our work. Our work was to give an explanations, on some of Emily Dickinson’s quotes.

 Today on August 30, 2022, we did some learning in class. As normally, we started off with a new bell ringer. This bell ringer was about love life and if we have been heart broken. I never had an actual relationship before. After the bell ringer, we read a new poem from Emily Dickinson. This particular poem, was mainly about hear break and getting over a lost one. Therefore, I look forward to learn more about Emily Dickinson.

 Today on August 29, 2022, we did a lot of things in class. We started off class with a bell ringer. This bell ringer was mainly about space and a black hole. After the bell ringer, we read a poem about author’s love life. I was going in and out because I was very sleepy. At the end, I still got my work done.

 For our bell ringer, we watched a video about space. I think the probability of life outside is pretty small, because none can breathe without a suit. My reaction to seeing the image of earth from Mars, is I'm not really shocked. The sound from the black hole, sounded pretty cool to hear. All of this really doesn’t put my life into perspective, because I don’t feel that it’s a big threat. 

 Today on August 26, 2022, we discussed a lot of things. We started it off with turning in our short myths. I was pretty nervous , but I got the work done. As a class, we ready a poem called, “ We are cool.” It was a pretty good poem about teenagers. If I had to rate my day, I would say 10.

 Today on August 25, I lot of things took place. First we started off the day taking notes. The notes was mainly based around rhetorical situation. The six steps are: exigence, audience, writer, purpose, context, and message. After we took notes, we did a group assignment using Space Cat. Then, we finished the day with our myths.

 This is my 12 sentences example 

 Today, we learned about the 3 rhetorical appeals ( logos, pathos, and ethos). Mr. Rease proposed to the class the option of having a free Friday. The appeal in pathos is: having a free Friday, could help make us feel happier. The appeal in logos is: articles have showed that a break, can increase students focus in class. The appeal in ethos is: teachers in the past, have gave a us a free day to take a break. If I had to rate my day, I would say a 10.

 Today in class, we learned a lot of new things. We started of the class with our bell ringer about,” The Social Life.” After we finished the bell ringer, we discussed native amercian literature.  From origin myths, legends, and even religions. Even though I was a little tired, I still understand the lesson.

                In class today, we watched a short film and wrote our thoughts about it. After that, we finished our unpopular opinions from the day before. All of us discussed our topics with each other, until it was time to present. When we were present, it was really fun seeing everyone's evidence with the topic. My unpopular opinion was that," Most people are, at heart, stupid, selfish, and irrational creatures."Also, my evidence was about how murders are stupid and irrational creatures. I had a really good day in class today. 

                Today, I am making up for yesterday's blog.  Yesterday we started off the day with a bell ringer. The short film was mainly about an elevator, and making smarter decisions. Also during the day, we took notes about the three different types of claim. The three different types of claim are: Fact, Value, Policy. After we finish discussing the claim, we finish the day with a junior meeting. If I had to rate my day, I would say a solid eight.

 In order for me to explain my purpose, we must first understand purpose. Purpose is for which something is done or created for which something exists. Also, purpose can mean to have quality in the world. I believe my purpose in life, is to win. To leave my print on the world, before I pass away. We all have a deeper purpose of living .

                          Today in class, we watched a video called two plus two equal five. The video was kind of weird, but I think it had a deeper meaning. The teacher wanted the students to memorize, that two plus two equal five. One student was bold enough and went against the teacher. Even though, the teacher was only following the principal's orders. Also, we learned how to comprehend a complex text. At first, I really didn't understand it. After you explained it more, it was easier to comprehend. If I had to rate my day in class, I would say eight out of ten.
