 Today we finished our Unit 1 bench mark. It was pretty easy and I hope I did good on the Argumentative essay portion. I am so tired today because I was up all night finishing a project. I am glad we didn't have to do much today. Next week is our first 9 weeks finished, I am trying to get all my grades up for the end of this semester.

 I was absent.

 We didn't do much today because school was only 30 minutes long. We talked more about needing evidence for an argument. An argument can not be won or supported without evidence. The presentation of the evidence is equally as important. All of the classes went by super quick and I left school early.

 Today we discussed argumentative writing. We learned about claims and evidence. We discussed whether certain stories were either using Logos, Pathos, or Ethos to support their arguments. The rest of school was pretty easy. It was also picture day which was very hectic in the gym.

 We were told today that we have to study our vocabulary words for a test soon. Arguments will also be on this benchmark test. So we took notes on what arguments are. We learned how to write Arguments by knowing who our audience is. I got checked out early in the class so this is what I know about today.

 Today Mr. Rease wasn't here so we had my favorite sub. She is always so nice to me and my friends. We had to write vocabulary words to fill in the blanks for an assignment. It was kind of confusing because there were multiple words that could fit in certain blanks. Overall the class was pretty laid back and the words were a little confusing. Its a Monday so I hope this week goes by fast.

 I was absent :(

 Today if you wanted a better grade for the origin myth quiz you could retake a different quiz. This origin myth was much shorter than the one on the last quiz. Both quizzes were easy, I just made a dumb mistake on the first one. I hope I got a 100 on this one or at least an 80. The rest of school was pretty chill, except for Math. I have to study a lot for math because I have two tests in that class.

 Today we presented our one-pagers in class. It wasn't a block day so not many people got to present. I didn't get to even though I think mine was pretty good. The rest of school was pretty easy and focused on 9/11 history, especially in my U.S. History class. I honestly hope that I don't have to present, but either way I'm sure I will get a good grade.
