Today we took a text. It was fairly easy because I remembered all of the skills that were on it. I think I did a good job on my argument essay, I remembered to use evidence to support my claim.
In class today we read an essay called The Myth of the Latin Woman: Just Met a Girl Named Maria. I enjoyed reading this essay because it opened up my view on different stereotypes in society. While reading we also had to identify claims and find the evidence that supports the claim. After reading we wrote about stereotypes we often use and if society could live without them. I enjoyed every minute of today’s lesson.
Today we discussed different outcomes of arguments. You succeed in an argument when you persuade your audience and that you win a fight when you dominate the enemy. In a argument you have to stimulate your audiences emotions, change its opinion and get it to act. After the lesson we put our skills to use to try to get Mr.Reese to change the temperature of the room, unfortunately we did not succeed.
Today in class we read the first chapter of the book Wild. So far I really find the book interesting, although it is not a book I would have picked on my own. We also talked about fate and actions, it was fate for the author to pick up the travel magazine which leads her to write the book. I enjoyed class today.
