Today I learned about the different claims if an argumentative essay. Some claims have facts and others are about what is right or wrong. Claims are supposed to be arguable because in an argumentative essay, you are supposed to be argue your point. I wonder what prompt our essays will be. I like arguing, so I think that doing essays like these would be okay.
We learned the components of an argument essay. I liked the lesson with the court case because it was somewhat fun. I like stuff like that: crimes and stuff. Not committing them, but solving mysteries... I think that learning how to do these essays properly won't be too hard. I like writing, but I like expository better. Writing fiction is more fun. We have our first game today, and I am somewhat nervous. I think I'll be fine though.
Today, I learned about the rhetoric of place. It is about how a place where the message is given affects how the message is received. My homework was used as an example today. It was a little weird because I was being extra with my work. I don't like how when the class talks, everybody gets homework or an extra assignment... but I guess that's just how it goes. Tomorrow should be better. If it isn't, I don't know what else to say.
I learned how to use crisis rhetoric and the components of an argument. We did the same thing today: sit and listen to him talk. It's a little hard to be engaged when it's the same thing everyday. However, I do pay attention and take my notes and stuff, but it's a lot
Today we learned about rhetorical analysis. Ethos, logos, and pathos are how you appeal to people when trying to argue your point. They are useful if you want to write a successful argumentative paper. We also took a pop quiz, and it was simple. I got a high grade on it.
Today we learned about rhetorical situations. It was an okay class. I liked taking notes on Chromebook better than paper because it's faster and easier. I just hope we get to do something different than lectures. I understand everything pretty well, so that's good. Also, doing this blog in class is better than doing it at home because I don't have to worry about it.
