 This course has taught me a lot of things. I learned how to do argumentative essays and how to find two themes of any piece of writing. I also picked up a few life lessons from mr. Rease that I could use later in life. He taught me that it’s better to not procrastinate to do things and do them then and there. This course overall was pretty easy and I’ll be doing AP next year.

 Today three people presented their finals about their occupation and college choice. I learned some new things about their occupations, and about my classmates occupations that they want to do. After that some students came in to present their presentations from 12th grade. They were some cool presentations but the second one didn’t really show a lot. That determined if they would pass or not.

 Today we worked on the PowerPoint part of our final. It was easy because we had all the information from the two worksheets we completed. We had to put it all together and have it correct and neat. I couldn’t figure out how to add a picture but I did and I turned it in when I got home. I feel like that was the easiest project we’ve had.

 Today we worked on the career Research worksheet part of the final. It was relatively easy, and we had websites that had all of our information. I learned some new things about my occupation that are interesting to me. I feel like I will be able to handle the emotional stress that my occupation may bring.

 Today we had a project to work on. We have to research a career, it’ll help us get an understanding of what we want to do when we’re older. It also will help us with finding the college we need to attend. It tells us about the requirements for the careers and the workforce. I feel this is helpful to me because I have a better understanding of what I need to have and do.

 Today we had a sub and had to work on our poems. I finished my poem the day it was assigned though. The poem was easy for me to make, so I had nothing to do today. It was a calm and easy day today. Tomorrow is Friday so I’m looking forward to the weekend. 

 Today we worked on a “found” Poem. It consists of quotes from a book you’ve read, but they have to make  sense. They have to give a meaning to the quote. My poem was called controlled. Celie has been controlled and had to deal with her emotion.

 Today we read all the way up to letter 31. Shug and Celie’s relationship have been evolving. Celie and Mr share a common interest in shhh, and they connected for the first time. Celine feels just right for the first time.
