Rhetorical Analysis

Today we had to compose our first rhetorical analysis for a grade. I know that I did not do good at all on this because I dont feel like I was as ready as I needed to be. Mr. Rease's help did benefit me on the amount I did write, but I sadly ran out of time and did not get to finish my essay. I wont let this failure get me down. I will move on and try to do better on the next one.

Three Body Paragraphs

Today was another normal day in class. The najority of class was spent writing three body paragraphs on a prompt we were given. I was not in class yesterday, so I dont know if the prompt was discussed already. Nevertheless, I feel like i did a good job answering the prompt woth three paragraphs. It feels like it is getting easier to answer these prompts the more we do it but I still find that I have trouble finding the appropriate pieces of evidence to use. This will be fixed in time I am sure of it.

Reading AP Essays

Today was another ordinary day in class. The majority of the class time today was spent reading over past student's AP exam essays. The first essay we read was very good. It was well synthesized and used very good syntax and diction. We were given the grading rubric as well and we graded the essays after we read them. The first essay got a score of 8. The second essay we read was not as good as the first one. It had a few errors that made it difficult to comprehend and difficult to pull the claims and evidence from the writing. The class rated the essay a 4 . This whole process was really beneficial because with my particular learning style I sometimes need to see what good vs. bad looks like for the writings if I want to do good.

The Argumentative Essay

I was pretty nervous coming to class today. I knew that we had to write our argumentative essays today and I was a tad bit intimidated by the thought of it. Once I got into writing it though, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Once I planned it out, my thoughts began flowing and I wrote my essay pretty easily. I did not get to write my very last sentence to finish my essay before time ran out, but I am hoping Mr. Rease will have mercy on me.
