As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family or society.

     Prompt: As you grow older and face new experiences, what issue or topic do you think you'll have to stand up and debate most often, whether with friends, family or society.

    Prompt response: As I grow older the topic I'm debating about more and more seems to be dress code. For whatever reason I get called "grown" or "fast" for just wanting to wear a tank top or a skirt. I don't necessarily want to dress in revealing clothes, but why am I always criticized for what I'm wearing. This is more of a topic for my family due to the fact that Lakeside doesn't have a real dress code. You also see this in a society where younger girls are called "grown" or "fast" for small things when there are bigger issues society could be worrying about.

    Summary: Today in class we learned about arguments and rhetorical appeals.

    Reflection: The three different types of rhetorical appeals are logos, ethos and pathos. I learned that I can use these rhetorical appeals to persuade an audience and use them effectively in an argument.

At first our group was debating what position we would take because of the way each of us perceived the claim.

Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.

 Prompt: Describe one thing that makes you different from other people.     Prompt response: One thing that makes me different from other people is my unwavering knowledge of older music, shows and movies. My favorite decade is the 70s. From the music to the styling of their clothes, its so chic. Because I live with two other generations I'm constantly being introduced to older music, shows and movies. I'm usually not around my own generation until I get to school, so during the summers is when I really learn a lot. I think it makes me a well rounded person. Summary: Absent Reflection: Absent

 Sep 25     Prompt:   Today, we learned how to use clustering as a brainstorming strategy before responding to any writing prompt. Think about today’s practice. How did clustering help you generate ideas, examples, etc for the prompt? What part of the clustering process was most useful to you, and do you think you would use this strategy when planning an AP Lang essay? Explain.     Prompt Response: Clustering works as a good brainstorming strategy because it helps you note your topics and connect them to your sub topics. The most useful part was the subtopics. in perspective, the topics serve as your claims while the subtopics can kind of be your evidence. In previous blog posts I talked about how evidence was the hardest for me, but now with this clustering method it seems it will make it easier. I will use the clustering method when planning another AP Lang essay.      Summary: In class we took notes on clustering.      ...
