Understanding How To Write a Claim

     Writing a claim for an argumentative essay is basically choosing your side that you agree with and explain why in one sentence. It helped me fully understand it more today, but my problem is that I'm a pretty slow thinker, so it takes me a minute or two to come up with something. I'm going to work on that more with my writing, so my goal is to think on the spot without wasting too much time.

Reflection 3/19

    I'm glad there wasn't much for us to do today. Plus it's Friday, it's the end of the week and at that point I'm just ready to get out of school.

3/23

5/12-Exam Day

      The exam wasn't too bad at all really. I think I actually did really good on the multiple choice timing wise and  feeling confident on what was the best answer. The essay part wasn't too bad, but I ended up spending too much time on the synthesis essay. Even though that was the case, I was still able to finish the rhetorical analysis and argumentative essay. I didn't do great on rhetorical analysis because I couldn't remember much of the devices, but I pulled what I could remember. Argumentative was ok, but it could've been better now that I'm thinking about it. My hand was hurting at that point and I just wanted to be done. So I'd say synthesis was my best essay out of all 3 of them. The exam on a whole felt a little more easier than the practice we've been doing. It was a lot easier for me to read the passages and understand them which made it a lot easier for me.
