Write about something that you believed as a child.

     Prompt: Write about something you believed as a child.

    Prompt response: As a child I believed in the tooth heavily. I absolutely loved the concept of a whole fairy coming to get MY own tooth under my pillow. It was especially fun for me because I was a snagatooth. My teeth would fall out left and right and grow back in even crazier than before. I was so obsessed I used to find innovative ways to take my teeth out to see if the tooth fairy would reward me more. 

    Summary: Today we went over the different types of claims and we did a worksheet at the end of class.

    Reflection: I learned the three different types of claims. Claim of Fact, claim of value and claim of policy. I realize that I use claim of policy often to propose a change.

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.      ...
