Reflection

    Today, instead of reading a new story, Mr. Rease put the class into groups of three. Each group was assigned two questions and we had ten minutes to answer them. After each group finished we all shared our answers. Mr. Rease taught us new skills and that each answer should be backed up with textual evidence. The overall discussion was engaging and I learned something. Mr. Rease even gave each student 100pts to use for any grade, minor or major. This is an awesome idea and now the class seems more attentive,  Mr. Rease said that if we do not engage or pay attention, he will deduct out of our 100pts. I do not think anyone wants that, especially me after the bad grade I received on one of my multiple choice quizzes.

In my group, we did one paragraph instead of two because I helped one of my group members finish the questions from yesterday. Hopefully we will have a few minutes to finish the paragraphs tomorrow.

Reflection

     Today in class, Mr. Rease went over all the questions made by each group from yesterday. Each group had to come up with a question from one of the short story that we read two days ago. Each group answered the questions and we did the process of elimination. We had to choose the best answer. This was fun because I learned something new, wording makes a difference in meaning. The way you word a question will have an affect on the answer or it can confuse someone. Word choice is significant when organizing a question. Another thing that excites me was the fact that my group had the best answer on one of the questions we answered. The question was “What did the golden coins represent in the short story?” Our group said success while everyone else said greed and temptation. The reason why we said success is because society relates success to money. If you have a nice car, a nice house, and nice clothes people will say your successful. In addition, gold coins can not be greedy or tempt

Poem

     In class, Mr. Rease asked us to choose any object and create a poem about it. He said he will enter in a contest for a chance of winning money. I rote about a clock because time is quite strange. Happy and precious moments go by so fast while painful and sad moneys last for to long. Time never gives anyone a break.
