Today we didn't have a bellringer. Since we were going to take an assessment, we were shown tips on how to take a multiple choice assessment and wrote them down. A strategy discussed these notes was the process of elimination method. Then Mr. Rease gave us some questions and called on people in the class to come up with answers to use it on. After that, we tried the process of elimination method again on 5 actual questions in the test we were going to do. However, since we had to go get our chromebooks checked in, we did not have enough time to start the assessment, and I'm assuming we will do it next week.
Today in class we watched a film called "The Last 3 Minutes" for our bellringer. It was about a guy who was dying and seeing moments of his life flash before his eyes. After watching the video, we were asked to answer the question: "What is the purpose of life?" In my response I said the purpose of life was to enjoy it. We also started a new poem called "I, Too" by Langston Hughes. It was about him using situations and metaphors to describe the discrimination he faces in life, and when he ended the poem with "I too, am America." he meant that he hoped to be seen as an American and/or person of equal worth as everyone else in the way the people who live there are.
Today we took the test on the Langston Hughes poems because we didn't have enough time to last friday. I'm elated that I got a 100 on it, because I expected a low A or high B with the way some of my answers were unsure. I think that what helped was my utilization of the process of elimination method, a method I have been using for a couple of years now to pass tests, which was reiterated to me last week in a more detailed way. And of course, the free 5 correct answers helped as well. After taking the test, we took notes on the writing process and created a bubble map on the process of getting a job. Then class ended.
