 Today, we finished up our reading of "Fences" by August Wilson. I liked how it ended because it left many things up to interpretation without solid conclusions. I learned that there has been a time jump from where we last left, where Cory came back from the marines, Troy passed, and a Cory now has a sister named Raynell. We also reviewed a new project we will be working on. The project is a PowerPoint on a certain character in the story with descriptions and explanations of websites they visited, things they've thrown away, and a soundtrack for the novel. Today I'm feeling ready for the week.

Monday 3/24/25 - Discuss how mastering precise vocabulary can impact your daily communication and academic success.

It makes communication easier because there is less of a chance for others to misinterpret what you are saying and reduces the chance of miscommunication and confusion. A stronger and more precise vocabulary can also increase your confidence because you know you have a strong grasp on the concept or idea you are trying to express, which can help you talk to others or speak up publicly. It can also strengthen academic success because it displays a strong understanding of material and lessons and can put more weight into your arguments which can in turn improve your grades.    Absent this day.

"I, Too" Langston Hughes Study Monday 8-19-24

 In this class today, we observed and analyzed Langston Hughes' poem "I, Too." In this poem, Hughes touches on key points on race and segregation in America and the future of it from his perspective. This lesson showed me that an American has no particular look, and that the country is a melting pot of diverse Americans. In this lesson I liked comparing his view of the future of race relations to now, and seeing that for the it has become reality for the most part. My day has been decent, but I am tired because I stayed up too late the night before.
