Which learning method do you enjoy the most?

 Prompt Response: I mostly enjoy class discussions even if I'm more of a quiet person because it helps me observe my classmates opinions. It also helps me when I see my classmates ask a question that I was also stuck on and see when the teacher briefly explains it. I like class discussions as well because everyone shares their point of perspective and it's interesting to see how they back it up with evidence that reasonates with their statement. It also helps notice who agrees on the same things and who disagrees and why they do so.Class discussions help see what everyone thinks and gives the opportunity for everyone to say what they believe and let the class see if they agree and if they don't, they can help you by explaining why your statement isn't right and why.

Summary: Today we had to choose a claim, whether it was Aristotle's, Plato's or Jean Paul's and create 5 claims and evidence to back it up. 

Reflection: I learmed about the philosophical claims that were made by Aristotle, Plato and Jean Paul. I noticed how each philosopher had different claims and reasonings that reasonate why they made those claims.

Think about the word or phrase you find yourself using the most right now. What is it, what does it mean, and why has it become part of your everyday vocabulary? Explain when you typically use it and what your choice of this word or phrase might reveal about you.

 Prompt Response: A phrase I often find myself saying these days is "I don't know what I'm going to do". It has became a part of my everyday vocabulary because I feel like there's so much to do this year and I can't keep up with everythingat once. It's stressing trying to complete one thing and then having to do another and sometimes veen trying to find time and make everything fit if they're due the same day. I've been procrastinating which I definetly need to change. I have homework every week for US history, I stay after school for a club, take care of my siblings and do work for other classes as well. Right now, I have to teach myself the lessons for chemistry since my teacher is out and it's difficult when I have questions and don't have anyone to ask. I feel like I say that phrase everyday.  Summary: We jotted down new vocabulary words and their definitions and used them in exercises. Reflection: I learned some words I hadn't seen...

Today, we learned how writers create a clear line of reasoning by connecting a claim, evidence, commentary, and conclusion. Which part of building an argument is most challenging for you, and why?

 Prompt Response:The part that is most difficult for me is coming up with a claim. I know how to identify the idea that I'd include in my claim I just tend to struggle creating the claim. I could write the body paragraphs first and then the claim. Sometimes I also tend to struggle creating the conclusion without repeating everything I stated in the claim. When I am able to create a claim, everything tends to flow and I get the hang of it. I've always had a difficulty when coming up with creating claims and sometimes conclusions. Summary: We learned what phrases to avoid when creating our claim and also wrote down what we can use as evidence in our readings and what not to use. Reflection: I learned that we should avoid using second person pronouns in paragraphs and should only use them in quotes if necessary. I also learned that if we use news articles or research studies, they should be no more than 10 years ago.

Describe something you will never fully understand

Prompt Response: Something I will never fully understand is why do people get with someone just to lie to them or end up leading them on? Why is it that people start dating at such a young age and believe it's right to lie to their partner just because? I've always wondered about that. I can't say I've experienced it, but I've experienced being with someone and them talking bad about me withh their best friend. To me, it doesn't make sense to do so, like if you don't like your partner anymore, why not leave them? Is it hard just to end your relationship when you feel like you're falling out of love? Personally, I'd prefer leaving someone instead of leading them on until they find out. The feeling of finding out isn't the best, so I wouldn't want to hurt them. I'm more of a person that is straight up and admits that "this won't work out anymore, but I wish you the best and hope you find someone that'll treat you better" t...
