Third Week

This was the Third week of Mr. Sweenys  English class. As usual to wake us up we played some spargle which is always a good way to wake yourself up in the morning. If we did not have spargle in the beginning of class i would definitely not be awake enough for class so thank you Mr. Sweeny for spargle. For class we had to read two stories we were able to discuss felt sense but the other story did not work not sure why but it just did not work we could not access the hyperlink. Sweeny started to talk to us about logos ethos and pathos even though i have heard it before, i never had a teacher show where someone used logos pathos and ethos in a video now i think ethos logos and pathos are going to be stuck in my head for awhile. We had a class discussion on what to write about for our paper on pop culture we made a list that took up the whole board on pop culture topics. I will admit some did not fit but you had to make the large list first and then reduce it from there. It seemed we got stuck on Rap and Country music I like both country and rap a lot  maybe its because my grandfather listened to country my grandmother listened to ethiopian and my friends in Petersburg all listened to rap when i was a kid, so im pretty diverse in listening of music. There was suppost to be a Group for Grammar Schmammar for Thursday but i think we had such a good time arguing about rap and country that Sweeny decided to just leave it for next class. I am really enjoying English class with Mr. Sweeny it is the first year i could ever say i enjoyed going to English class.

Hello my name is Orlando McCoy James the Second. Just a heads up this will be random and all over the place so i apologize ahead of time. I am nineteen years old this is second year attending Richard Bland, i plan on leaving Richard Bland with a Associates in Science and attending VCU or Virginia Tech. My career goal is to become a mechanical engineer, because i was promised a job in Boars Head's engineering department if i majored in mechanical engineering. In all honesty my major and career choice has changed more times then i could remember and it feels good to finally know where i am headed or at least have a plan B. Time to skip the whole work thing and go right into school related talk. I have always hated English it is and always was my worst subject in school. Through high school and middle school my parents and teachers noticed i had excelled in science and math related subjects, and lets just say i did not like history or English throughout  middle and high school. So far in Mr. Sweeney's class i have had lots of fun and from what i can tell i wont hate English as much as before. I really enjoy the way Mr. Sweeney teaches his class with unethical and out of the box methods it has kept me on my toes and helped me so far get over my dislike for English. Like in the last two classes we had to decide on what three essays we should do, and in what order we should do them in. Sadly it could not just be a regular vote and get on with it the entire class had to agree on everything one hundred percent, which made it extremely difficult for everyone. That exercise ended up teaching us what techniques we should use in our argumentative papers, to be honest that was one of the coolest learning techniques i have ever seen in English it kind of made me excited to see what was next. I guess since i have passed my limit of three hundred words i feel like i can stop, and for the two girls who sit behind me or anybody who made it through this whole thing definitely leave a comment.
