Today we finished the American Lit benchmark essay and submitted our work. I was able to finish it all even though I wasn’t sure if I could. Mr. Rease was also back today.
Today we had the task of analyzing and breaking down an article, and answering questions about it. The questions were answered on illuminate, and there were 14 questions given. I think the article was pretty interesting, and I enjoyed learning about the effects of habitual video game playing on youth. I would like to learn more about the symptoms though.
Today we read and annotated a poem called The Negro Speaks of Rivers by Langston Hughes. In the poem Hughes talks in a first person point of view but is actually speaking for/as black people as a whole. This poem talks about the black race being as ancient as a river, as we were the first race of people. He names rivers historically significant to contributions made by black people to help illustrate his message.
