What happened in 4th Block

Mr. Rease presented a talk about Native American culture today in fourth block at school. I learnt about origin stories, which are mythology, biblical allusions, and even creations of the world, humans, plants, and animals. I discovered that native American literature has themes such as harmony with the natural world, ancestors, animals, land, and even humans, and that everything is alive and serves a purpose. Also, in class, we read a story called Navajo Creation, which was about topics related to the Bible, such as angels and devils, and it was about Jack and the Beanstalk. Despite the fact that I learnt all of these fantastic stuff in fourth block today. I was quite exhausted and desperately wanted to sleep, but I couldn't since I had to pay attention in class even though I was dozing off a little bit

 I began writing our annotated bibliography today. We were initially given a sample of the work before outlining our approach. As we were explaining, we used as a point of reference. Mr. Rease checked on us midway through the lesson to see how we were doing and offered assistance if needed. We engaged in it for the entire period until being let go.

 We took notes for virtually the whole class session today. We had the option of writing them or typing them. I typed them, and we discussed rhetorical strategies. We also discussed how to write a rhetorical analysis. Finally, because we had no idea what syntax was, we went over it. It was the whole period, and the last 15 minutes of class were spent doing nothing.

Today in Mr. Rease's class, we began with a bellringer. We had to define perfection and explain what we wished to improve in our lives. Everyone wrote what they wanted to put on the board, and then we explained why. Then we began a task that will take us largely till the conclusion of class. The task required us to take a stand on the importance of aiming for excellence. We spoke about it for the whole class session.
