What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

 Prompt: The most creative thing I have ever made was for my 8th grade science fair. My friend and I chose to do our project on which brand of popcorn has the least amount of un-popped kernels. We spent multiple weeks working on both the experiment and the aesthetics of the project and it turned out great. Our board for the project was very on theme with our experiment and we put a lot of time and effort into it. I'm not the most artistic person, so I was very proud of how it turned out and I had so much fun doing the project.

Summary: Today in class we went over rhetorical devices.

Reflection: We went over identifying rhetorical devices in speech. This will help with my writing because I am now more familiar with rhetorical devices.

Think of a time when you tried to persuade someone to agree with you, change their mind, or do something you wanted. What were you trying to persuade them to do or believe? How did you use ethos, pathos, or logos to persuade them? Which appeal was most effective and why?

 Prompt: I persuaded my parents to go to Seaside for Spring Break. My parents didn't want to go because it was going to be super crowded and busy, but I was able to persuade them. I used Ethos, Pathos, and Logos to persuade them and I told them how most of my friends were going and that it would be super fun. We had already been before so I used that to convince them that I was already aware of how to get to places and how to be safe while doing so. Pathos was the most effective because my parents wanted me to have fun and they felt like it was important for me to be with my friends. It ended up being a very fun trip and I'm glad I was able to convince my parents to take our family there. Summary: Today in class we presented our Origin of Our Name assignment.

How has living in or around Atlanta influenced the way you see your community, culture, or identity? If you were speaking to someone unfamiliar with Atlanta, what would you want them to understand about your community?

 Prompt: Living in Atlanta has influenced the way I see my community in many ways. It has helped me see how diverse and connected we are and how that makes living in Atlanta meaningful. I want people to understand that Atlanta is a beautiful place and because we are so diverse, Atlanta has so much to offer. Atlanta has so many different types of shops, restaurants, and activities that anyone would enjoy. I would encourage people to learn about the history of Atlanta and why it is so important and meaningful to those who live here.
