Monday - Claim notes and assignment

 Today in class we wrote notes about claims and then did an assignment where we had to make several claims, both against and for. I learned how to create a claim, identify one, and the different types. I personally enjoyed this assignment because it was nice learning about claims and making our own, voicing our opinion and thoughts. I think I can use this in everyday life if I am making an argument or claim in almost any scenario. My day is going okay. 

Wednesday - argument essay notes

 Today in class we wrote notes about how to write an argument, essay and learn about ethos, pathos and logos. I learned how to make a claim and back it up with evidence, as well as how to identify that evidence, as eat those pathos or logos, and make evidence behind my claim with one of those three. I will take this when I am reading an essay specifically argumentative, or when I’m just browsing the Internet and gathering information. I personally like this assignment, since we learned how to identify information we see online or anywhere, and I think I will need this in the future. My day is going great seeing as we just got two days off of school, because of the hurricane.

 Today we read a newsela article about the internet and the precautions you should take before trusting it. I learned how to get better results on the internet and how to spot fake information.

My day is going terrible because school started and I got 2 hours of sleep.

Friday - Vocabulary words

 Today we learned 15 new vocabulary words in the college workbook. I learned 15 new sophisticated vocabulary words that I can use whenever I am writing or speaking.

My day is going great because it is Friday.

Wednesday - Feedback partner essay

 Today we got with a partner and read our essays and gave feedback. I learned how to properly revise and give feedback to an essay.

My day is going pretty well since my week has been off to a good start.
