You learn something new everyday...

Today in class we did a follow up on what we where doing for the week. This whole we was preparing us to be able to answer any prompt that was given. So today the prompt was based of Kobe Bryant’s death and the TMZ reporter reporting false information. The prompt was is it wrong that the ABC channel suspended a reporter for reporting false information. We had to choose a position and make 5 claims. For me it took a lot out of me the write the little that i had. I would say it was decent for my first attempt on this pre exam. I do believe I need a little more questions answered and skills to complete the task in an AP form.

Absent

I was absent today; I was supposed to come to school but I end up missing it because of the delay at the doctors office.

Wednesday

Today in class we put all the things we reviewed together to break down the prompt. We reviewed our readings, observations and experiences. Then we went over the differences between reason and reasoning.

Purpose

I don’t know what my purpose is just because I only found two talents that I have. One is my skill in drawing the the other is my skill in doing hair. If I was to think off the top of my head of what I think it would be I would say caring for children. I think that because kids always latch on to me even if they don’t know me. Kids love me and I always used to think maybe it’s because I look weird. What I mean by that is that I look different to them. People say I have Chinese people eyes and that’s was my idea of why kids/babies are so interested in me. Til this day I still don’t have a clue of what my purpose is on this earth.

The Week Starter

Today in class I learned some life lessons without having to experience it. One was to cherish yo family and the people you love cuz you never when it will be their last day on earth. Another was life goes on. So he said all that to give a prompt about the differences in ownership. The position I chose was how goods and skills help build moral character. Mr. Rease used Kobe Bryant as an example saying that his character came from him skill in basketball and he build his was up off of that.

It’s Fridayyyy

Today in close we got back in our groups and finish the ap practice passage and questions. It’s Friday I wasn’t feeling it at all I just wanted to go home and take a nap. While they were going over the questions I was just agreeing. Then we talked about the word average and it’s meaning in different ways. Ms. Rease expects an average score from us because we know the skills and he makes it seem like it will be easy if we just apply those skills on the exam. I don’t know about this exam tho I think I’m one of the ones that he can give me all the skills and I still not get that average grade because English and writing is not my strongest but we’ll see when it’s time to take the test.

AP classes

Today in class we were in groups of 3. I honestly hate going to this class I feel so stupid and less of a person in there. It’s bad that I can’t comprehend my own language right. Before we got in groups we took a ACT practice we had 12 questions, and 14 minutes to do it. When he said said 5 minutes I was was just getting to my 5th question. It’s not that I don’t know how to read, but I’ll read it and not understand nothing I just read. But that’s with all my Ap class test they all are testing my comprehension skills, which I don’t have. So yea it is ridiculous that my test results come out horrible just because I don’t have the knowledge or skill to comprehend well.

A sub AGAIN!!

We had a sub again today and we just had to do a follow up on the work from yesterday. Instead of one paragraph we had to write two today.

My Birthday

Unfortunately Mr. Rease wasn’t here today so we had a sub. Sadly we still had work to do. The assignment was to choose a claim on certainty and doubt and write a body paragraph.

Last Day of the Week

Today in class we did another follow up on the ap prompt again. We found claims and the evidence that goes with it. He gave us a packet of the previous rubric on the ap exam. We went over the number rates on each essay that was given in the passage. The first essay was well developed and worded and it was graded an 8. The second essay wasn’t as well written but it answer the prompt, had claims and evidence to back them up and surprisingly it was a 5.

Thursday

Today in class was a follow up on the ap prompt from the pass few days. We broke it down and begin to use observations and experiences that related to our claims on the relationship of doubt and certainty. My claim and observation was that doubt drives certainty. A mother doubts her car would be fixed in time but it eventually got fixed. That’s goes because the doubt that shit had drives her to wanna pay and call to check on her car. My experience was that I was certain I would pass my ap classes but I doubted that the final grade would be high. This is a claim of through doubt there’s certainty.

Wednesday

Today in class we reviewed our ap exam question using a deeper method. We watched videos about ones certainty versus their doubt. Then we came up with claims that went with the video and the two words. One of my claims are to visualize the certainty of things to come without a doubt. I used this claim from the video about the 10 million dollar check. I would use this quote personally for my life because if it can happen to him it can happen to me. To get the impossible you have to visualize and put in the work to get that I looked as it like speaking what you want to come into existence.

Monday’s

Today in class we played a game of four corners. This was a practice for arguments and backing it up with logical evidence. What I got from this exercise was that it breaks down all opposite opinions and    show how they all can be relatable. For example, one statement was should kids be able to spend there money without parent supervision. There were the choices of strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree, and disagree. My chose to agree because I think that if parent keep babying there child the child will get used to the parents help and not learn responsibility.

Wednesday’s

Today in class we talked about the things we will be going over in Unit 5. Then we began the lesson about logical fallacies. These are examples that are to be avoided when doing the Ap exam.
