 Prompt: After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices, types of rhetoric, and methods for identifying rhetorical techniques, which rhetorical device do you find most effective or compelling, and why?

Prompt Response: 

I think the rhetorical device I find most compelling is the 'Antithesis'. I'm not entirely sure why, but I like reading the sentences with two ideas in a balanced sentence to emphasize their differences. It's easy to understand and just about anyone can easily make one.

Summary:

Today we worked on our test "Rhetorical Device", despite the original plan to take it on Tuesday. It had around 40 questions to complete, it was based on the rhetorical devices we had learned and on the previous works we did. It mentioned the speeches of both Trump and MLK, while also mentioning the movie clips we had watched previously in the week. Everybody managed to complete it by the end of class and apparently the class averaged around 50%, not ideal. With only one person with an A, I passed with an 82.

Reflection:

I can reflect that if you did study on the study guide and the work that we had done, the test should have been quite easy to do and anyone could've passed it. I know that I studied the rhetorical devices but with some reason I confused them with each other sometimes, regardless I think I did well and understand the majority of rhetorical devices.

 Prompt:  Reflect on your research topic and identify the most compelling issue connected to it. Clearly explain what the issue is and discuss why you find it particularly interesting or important. Support your response with specific details from your research. Prompt Response: The most compelling issue connected to it is the massive enforcement and deportation initiatives with humanitarian protection obligations and civil liberties. More specifically, the tightened U.S. immigration regime, I find it interesting and important since it's a big major issue today. The immigration policies of the country had impacted economically, socially, and politically, creating different outcomes for the immigrants or migrants who struggle to survive. Summary: Today we worked on selecting sources, each person presented a source from each category, then we would pick the best one to use. Mr. Rease gave us two worksheets to work on, my group managed to finished one paper. We had to fill in the ...

As the first semester comes to an end, take time to reflect on your learning and growth in this course. In a well-developed response, explain what you enjoyed most about the class, identify the project or assignment you found most engaging, and discuss which aspect of the course you connected with the most (such as poetry, fiction, writing, or discussion). Finally, reflect on one area where you feel you need additional support or improvement as we move into the spring semester.

Prompt Response: What I most enjoyed about this class was how funny my classmates can be, the only entertaining people of my day since everybody in my other classes are either boring or annoying. I also enjoyed the work, not always but the majority of it was not overwhelming and I appreciate how Mr. Rease thoroughly explains what we need to do. I haven't felt completely clueless in a while and its a great feeling compared to last year. I don't really recall any project or assignment that I fou...

  Reflection: This assignment helped me reflect over my character and how simple I can be, I already knew some of the basic stuff about myself and it was nice to look back into it again. I barely needed to introduce my character or personality with other people so this is one of the few experiences that I get to do so.
