Test Taking Skills

Today in Mr. Reases's class I learned how manage my time wisely will taking a test. I also learned more about analyzing the text. While reading the text I learn how to state my claims and find  evidence to support my claims. It was a little warmer in class today, so I took off my jacket. I learned that I need to manage my time while writing an essay. Class was very quiet today also because we were taking a test the whole time.

Mother’s Tongue

Today in class today we read aloud an essay by Amy Tan called “Mothers Tongue.” In the essay Tan explains how her English skills on tests were mediocre and her Math skills were very strong. Tan also explains how she uses broken English with her mother yet she still understands what she is saying. While reading the story we were to identify claims and find evidence that backed up the claims. Towards the end of the class I learned that we will be reading a book, and that we must purchase the book by September 9th. As always the classroom was chilly and I learned many more things to stuff in my brain.

Quotations , Commas, and Semicolons oh my!

In Mr.Rease’s class today I learned that yesterday I did my homework assignment on blogger completely wrong. On an educational level, in class I learned some valuable things about commas and quotation marks. I learned that in shorts works of writing to use quotations marks, for long works underline or italics. I also learned in class to bring more fur because it is freezing in class. But we live in the south, so it has to be freezing cold in class. I also learned  about Fanboys which simply means For, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. I am so excited to see what I will learn about in class on Thursday!

In that story a Hispanic women explained how she has been  stereotyped based on the clothes she wears. Simple things like wearing tanks tops and flip flops are accepted as normal in her country but, in ours is considered sexual. In class today we also learned how to continue setting up our blogger. I also learned how much I  could learn in class if I pay attention and keep an open mind
