 Prompt: What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school? 

Prompt Response:

I fear I do not know anything useful I learned in high school that will help me live independently after high school, I think the essential skills that can help me succeed after high school is how to do taxes, pay the bills, manage a good credit score, social skills, and driving, etc. So far I don't got any of these skills, so I might be doomed and school doesn't really teach real world skills, they just expect the majority to go to college and focus onto that rather than things that can help us survive the adult world. It depends really.

Summary:

Today we worked on a worksheet with Mr. Rease on types of rhetorical devices, through a PowerPoint he showed us all these words to copy down in our documents as notes. Then we looked over with a video and a PDF file over Trump's presidential speech about a 'crisis'. We learned how he used these rhetorical devices to persuade and make the enemy of the other. The work was finished by the end of the class in time.

Reflection:

I learned how despite Trump being a bad person and president, he does have some credit at being good with  rhetorical words. I do not know if he wrote the speech himself, or if someone else had done it for him but it had done the job which managed to convince a majority of people to build a wall.
