Poem Explication

This is my poem Explication. 

Still Maya angelou

Today was a weird day we went to homeroom first and after that time was just all weird so today i was feeling confused and anxious for some reason. Today in Mr Rease class we read another poem by Maya Angelou and it was really interesting, its called still I rise. It talks about how she gets a lot of hate and things come her way but she still finds a way to get back up and go through her life.  I found this poem really powerful because she is speaking the truth about how you should live life. No Fear and people will try to strike you down but always push through all of it. Overall again today was a good day in Mr Rease class and we take our yearbook photos tomorrow!

Being black

Black is very beautiful and I love being the african American. It means I can be as free as I want to be. Being able to wear whatever i want and not worrying what people think of me. Being black has its disadvantages but I see it as a privilege that only pushes me to work harder than usual and I'm glad because I'm going to need it for later on in life. Being black is amazing and I love every second of it even though our culture gets criticized alot. Being able to happily carry out my ancestor will and carry out the traditions of our culture. The black culture is a Experience that I love to the max.

Sick day

I did not attend school today because I did not feel so well. DNA

Black Culture

Today was a good day for me i didnt have to worry to much from anything today so i came into class feeling good and it got better as I came in. Today in Mr Rease class we talked about black culture and how it is looked on upon by other races. This poem was done by Maya Angelou and it was really beautiful i really like analyzing it. We also went over what we need to do for our senior project thats due sometime in April. I feel a little anxious about it but overall i think im going to do pretty good on it. Overall though a great day at school very chill.

The Dream

Today was a pretty normal day to me nothing bad happened until I got into Mr Rease class. Today in Mr Rease class we went to the library and checked out our books for our senior project. My book had to be found later on so it was ok. But our next lesson was reading a poem called the dream and it was quite interesting but I felt like I didnt understand it fully hence why I failed the quiz at the end of class. I felt very disappointed in myself but I learned from this experience. It was fun but ultimately class was a fail for me.

Rease is Back!

Well coming off an excruciating Second block my levels was really low today, but luckily Mr Rease did something to make me happy again. Today in Mr Rease class we was tasked of finding 10 songs that came from a memory that we had in the past. This activity was very fun and I loved going back in my past and remembering songs that created special moments for me. We also read a poem that was similar to our activity and I thought it was a good chill poem. Overall again great day in class this week so far has been good for Mr Rease class.

Chill day 2

Today i was feeling stressed because of the Calculus test I took before coming to Rease class so I was feeling pretty sluggish and stressed. Today in Mr Rease class we were working in our groups to make our two body paragraphs from our clusters that we made a week ago. My group was very supportive so the work was very easy for us to finish. The atmosphere again was very chill like it was from yesterday so I had fun today in Class. Mr Rease will be back tomorrow so classes will resume like it has been .

Rease out Still working

Today was a very chill day, I didnt really have any problems except for it being cold I hate the cold. Today Mr Rease was out so we was assigned book work and to read a story. The story itself was very interesting and it showed how people can truly be good or bad depending on the person. The atmosphere of class was very chill and Calming, overall a great day in class today. Mr Rease will also be out again tomorrow so I hope it's the same feeling again tomorrow. 

Another AP QUIZ yeah i know right.

Today was a chill day for the most part, the class before me had me stressed out though so going into Rease class taking a quiz really gave me the booster I needed. So anyways we took another Ap quiz but this time it was really hard for me. I keep second guessing my answers that are right, I overthink way too much and i need to work on not doing that so much. Made a very horrible grade but luckily Mr Rease let us work in groups to correct out answers which my group ended up getting a hundred. After that we had the rest of the block off which was great because I needed a Breather for the rest of the day.

More understanding

Another Day of learning more about the pardoners tale and understanding the passage as a whole. Today we worked in groups to find the answer to the questions but this time it was short answer and not multiple choice. I feel as though it really helped me though because writing my answer out helped me understand the better answers for multiple choice test. Even though today was pretty boring i pushed through all of the class and gave my 50% effort, which is a one up for me. Overall though great day in class no mishaps i was focused but not giving all my effort.

Today was a standard day as usual. I had to really think on something that was so simple but the way Mr Rease worded it made it harder for me to understand. Yesterday we were asked to make a question revolving around a certain topic.My group topic was the theme of the story at a certain part and we had to create a answer for our question. Our question was very wrong at first which kinda made me mad but overall Mr Rease broke it down for us so we ultimately understand how to make a question and answer for it. We also had to create answers for the other groups and it was fun to do so but also pretty challenging since others also had weird wording in their question.

Quiz + Intervention

Today was the start of intervention again for this new year. I felt very weird being on a new time for school again but never the less we still learned. I thought i was going to do better than an 83 on my quiz but i felt like i didnt put in the effort for this story so thats probably why I fell short of a A this time. I hope this next story that we read is more interesting than this last one but I cant wait to reead this next story!

Greed

Today lesson really taught me something about money and the people around you. Even though Mr Rease says the love of money is the root of all evil I feel as that there is more to that. Money in my opinion is a source of happiness and sorrow depending on how you chase after said money.  Money to me isn't all that much happiness its more of just a necessity but people can get real evil when it comes to money. Also the topic of chasing death really intrigued me as when you speak something into existence it will come true. I believe that this true as making something you want to come true can happen!

Learning

Today was another average day for me I felt like it went by quick. In Mr Rease class we finished the wife of bath tale and I felt kinda conflicted. I feel like alot of people might want a young and hot woman more than a Okd and faithful because they want to live in the moment. I personally think I would like a old and ugly person because loyalty is everything to me. The knight wasn't really punished at the end so it was kinda unfulfilling of the story. We also took a quiz on it and I felt as though it was not hard but I need to work on vocabulary.

New Tales

I was a little tired today but I still got into the lesson for today. Today we read some of the characters Descriptions for the canneberry tales, we also read a tale about the wife of bath and her question for the knight really intrigued me. I wouldnt be able to answer the question because I really dont know what girls desire in life. If I was asked this question I would prolly get killed by the queen for my answer.

Reflect

Today in Mr Rease class we watched a video about effort and how effort really define how well you can be in life. The more effort you put into something you can be more successful and have what you want. we also started talking about a book that has short stories and uses positions to determine how you are treated.

New Semester

Today was the first day back for the new year and new semester! Today was easy but that's every first day back. We went and reviewed what we learned on the first semester and watched a pep talk on how we should appreciate high school.
