Ms Williams Response

1) Ms. Williams has good organization throughout her essay as well as insight. It is also convincing and well supported. Her work may be improved by using more mature diction and syntax.

2) I would say her premises of discrimination in the education system are true even though I am not a witness of it. As far as logical fallacies, I didn’t identify any.
Based on my experience, I am in agreement with her on how teachers brag about the education they have and yet they don’t fully apply themselves to helping their students; that could improve. She does focus on the black race with the discrimination but I think all students of all races can find this applicable.
3) A lesson I can take away from Ms. Williams’ work is to sacrifice time and effort to things that I truly believe in. She learned a lesson from this novel and applied it to her life and portrayed it in a well-written essay to hear her opinions.

Today in class our group in the back got a lot accomplished. We were able to discuss how we were going to study for this test. Myself and Aj are going to prepare by doing the read and respond questions while Max and Mariah are going to study vocab.

A Reflection on Uninstructed Learning

The text from The Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons provides so many different outlooks on how to accomplish the impossible and unimaginable. When the author(s) talked about how "three months of self-doubt and self-ridicule" turned into something so worthwhile, it makes the hardest of obstacles and the worst of trying times seem manageable. The theme being put across in this text is that even when the going gets rough, just stay strong and try and try again. Sometimes, the hardest assignments can kill you but as we all know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and makes you a fighter.

Study Update:3

Study Update:2

I'm sitting here watching Bryce Harper make his MLB debut at 19 years old, while trying to study for the Final. Right now I am working on the read and respond paragraph questions because they are the hardest for me because I can not stay focused for that long. Wish me Luck!

Study Update:1

Well right now I just got home from the PowderPuff game. I am going to attempt to work on the multiple choice section of one of the tests because I feel like I need to start, to recognize the wrong answers immediately. This might not click right away but, in due time it will.

2004 Ap Section 1

I chose this section because I feel we can all use help in these sections. Most high school students, like myself feel rushed when we get to these sections because we feel like we don't have enough time to read and complete all the questions accurately. So I feel like we can all use a little prep in this section
