Persuasive Text Reflection

For this piece of writing, I decided to write about the over usage of screen time for kids.
I chose to write this because I know for a fact that it is a big issue.
One of the persuasive techniques that I used was Pathos because I included two stories that were sad and one was a bit frightening. I think that this technique was a powerful tool because a lot of people will care more about the issue if they think that something sad will happen if they don't care about.

 When writing, the part that I found most challenging was writing the right sentences and words to convince my audience that this was an issue and that they should care about it.
I am especially proud about how my persuasive text turned out. I think that I did a good job and that's why I'm proud of it.

5R Assembly Reflection

5R Assembly Reflection For our assembly we focused on our unit, HWEO, and the central idea, change can occur when artists align themselves with issues and opportunities. I was part of the metal heads as a headbanger. It was really fun just getting to crazy in front of almost 300 people. I also made a teensy weensy little mistake when I was saying my lines in front of everyone, I thought that is was really embarrassing, but I was reassured by my parents that I was fine. PMI Chart P: Positives M: Minuses I: Ideas P: I learned how to use my voice better in front of a large crowd. I also thought that the skits where all great, and the way we presented our unit was great as well, I also thought that the slide show we used was great, and my parents were there. M: I learned that certain skits need more practice than others, for example, the Banksy skit could have used some more practice, but it was still absolutely awesome. Another minus was that almost our whole week was tak...

Identity Poem

Image
At the start of the year, as part of our Who We Are unit, we were thinking about identity. Here is a poem I wrote to share some aspects of my identity. I am Vincent. I wonder what created the universe and beyond. I hear my grandmother talking about us in Belgium. I see my mom working hard to sustain our family. I want to see everything the world has to offer. I am Vincent. I pretend to be okay when i need somebody. I feel happy when I am with the right people. I touch the mouse of the laptop when I play video games. I worry my great grandmother will die when our family is not there. I cry when I am hurt. I am Vincent. I understand what it’s like to be the new kid. I say things I regret a lot. I dream that the world was what everyone wanted it to be. I try to be something I’m not sometimes. I am Vincent. Me, my brother and my friends in the first week of school. Me and Jay working on our book.
