Jaiden’s AP Blog

 Today we went over another prompt and logged into illuminate. We watched a video abut the earth and how we think it is being effected. We answered one of the questions and then we talked about space and whether or not we thought it should be explored further. We spoke about spaceships and explosions. We left off on a note talking about how we can use pictures by not describing them, but explaining how they relate to our claim. 

 Today we watched a video on (60 minutes) and it was about brain hacking. The video talked about how teens and everybody in general were getting addicted to their phones. It spoke about how the app itself was not getting money by downloads, the app gets money from us buying things from the ads. We answered questions about it, and looked at which ones we got wrong and right. After that, we didn't do much; we just talked and disscused how we thought it applied to us. 

 Today we read another prompt sadly and used it to practice for when we write the actual essay. We also took notes, and wrote down 10 things that we as a class thought were unknown. After the list, we chose whether or not we thought looking into the unknown was necessary or not worth it. We made claims after choosing a side and then had to come up with evidence to support it. The team we were supposed to be playing forfeited again, so we were going to have regular practice but I decided to leave. 

 this is what we did today: 

 Today we worked on a current event type prompt. We watched multiple videos,read articles, and then discussed what had occurred. For the prompt, we separated the people who agreed and the people who disagreed and then wrote our claims and picked evidence from the articles to back them up, After class we were supposed to have a game, but carver forfeited the game so our boys game ended up being earlier w usual. When one of our players got hurt though, the opposing teams boys came up to me and asked for my name and if i was single. It was definitely a ego boost, but aside from that the boys ended up winning. 

  Today we started off by taking a test on what we've been learning the past two weeks. There were 15 questions on the test and they were all multiple choice. After school, naqouia might come over to my house and if she doesn't then i'm going to wal-mart to return these grey cargo pants I got the other day because I got the wrong size. We don't have practice today so if neither of those happen, then i am going to sleep most likely. 

 Today we continued on chapter 5 of the arguing book. We wrote a 3 to 5 sentence summary about it and also included 5 major points of the chapter. We wrote down the meaning of hope,faith,doubt, and certainty and then we wrote down a list of things that would be certain in 10 years and then a list of things that we doubt would happen in the next 10 years. We got a prompt about certainty and doubt and then we chose which one we would be on sides with. 20 minutes before class ended I literally fell asleep and then my neck ended up hurting really bad so I guess it was karma. After class we had to take soccer pictures, but we ended up starting an hour late because our coach was on the phone with someone forever.
