Use a hyperbole, an understatement, and a litotes to describe today's lesson.

 Prompt: Use a hyperbole, an understatement, and a litotes to describe today's lesson. 


Prompt Response:

    Hyperbole - The class was too talkative I couldn't hear my own thoughts.

    Understatement - The lesson wasn't too hard, even with everyone confused.

    Litotes -  Today's lesson was not that bad to learn.

(These are definitely not perfect)

Summary:

Today we worked on rhetorical devices, hyperbole, understatement, and litotes. On a sheet of paper we wrote down each definition and notes, while also creating our own rhetorical sentences. Mr. Rease reviewed them with us through the board and book, he also helped correct our sentences. We did a specific format in the left corner of the sheet and titled the sheet center on the first line. 

Reflection:

Today I learned that I had clearly not gotten any practice on these rhetorical devices growing up, the only one would probably be hyperbole but that was so long ago. I was mainly taught to understand and how to look for it in sentences, I also was bad at creating sentences with rhetorical devices all my life so I'd say I wasn't surprised.

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.
