Grading Myself
Understanding: 6, Personally I feel as though my understanding of Macbeth is adequate but I meant to explain my analysis much more.
Literary Devices : 5,  I explained a couple different uses of devices but could have done much more
Organization: 7, I thought my organization was good. I gave context, background info for the characters, and then provided analysis. That being said, I can always improve.
Language: 4, MY LANGUAGE COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER. THAT WAS HORRIBLE.

Comments:
Waverly- Great job girl! I was so nervous too haha I messed up a ton. I agree with most of your grading for yourself. Nerves really mess us up. You could have provided much more analysis and at a greater depth. You did well with organization though I thought.
Sophie- You're a dork Sophie but we love you. Great job with the analysis. You went into good depth and provided context for your analysis. Loved it. In my opinion, your use of literary devices could have been tied in better but overall good job!

    Hey Abby! Good job introducing the text with historical context and then context of the passage with in the text, this was really good. I really like that you keep bring up the idea of power throughout the text as this was such an important part of the text. Also, I like that you refer back to the prophecy from the beginning of the text to explain the events occurring in the passage. You address a couple of literary techniques used by Shakespeare, I think mainly characterization, but most of what you said was more narrative. Try to address more techniques used by Shakespeare and go in depth with them. Good job!

    Abby:

    - A bit more lead-in about the text as a whole- title, author, year of publication, AND a brief summary- before zooming in to the passage itself.
    - Good structure and organization; strong thesis. Be sure you keep linking back to those key ideas to prove how they are developed in the passage
    - Make sure you are really looking at the passage ONLY- there are places where you are kinda veering into "book club"; additionally, make sure you are not just listing devices and are actually spending time analyzing (remember that rephrasing ISN'T analysis)

    A: 5
    B: 5
    C: 4
    D: 4

What's In a Name?

What's In a Name? Abigail was originally a popular name for the Puritans around the Protestant Reformation. It was consistently used, then gradually died out, and was reintroduced around the 20th century. Abigail is most popular in Austrailia and has a consistent meaning Hebrewism , the Bible, and American culture as "The father's joy". Being the only girl on my dad's side of the family and the only daughter my dad has, I believe that the meaning of my name is significantly important to my self-identity. I resonate more with the shortened, less traditional version of Abigail, which is "Abby". I personally believe that the name Abigail is much too sophisticated for my life currently, but I do find the name to be elegant and prestigious. Possibly later in life I will identify as an Abigail rather than an Abby. The Responsibility of Being a "Two" There is a sense of obligation in being "two", due to the responsibility that comes with...

Is Happiness Worth It?

TED TALKS! WOO! BEST. DAY. EVER. Let me just say right off the bat, I. LOVE. TED. TALKS. I would most definitely campaign to make TED a tv series with a talk once or twice a week. If this dream of mine did come true, you would absolutely see me sitting on my couch, dachshund pajama pants on, a smoothie in hand, simply mesmerized by the speaker and their message. There's something about the way in which each speaker has such diverse perspective and purpose, yet deliver their speeches in such similar ways. The commonality yet versatility is continuously grabbing my attention, so much so that I have the TED app on my phone. And yes, instead of watching Grey's Anatomy, The Walking Dead, Pretty Little Liars, and all the rest of the popular teen shows, I watch TED talks.  Out of my love for TED talks, I am hoping for at least a 90, as I got an 89 last time. Grades smades. Happiness is the key! Moving on. You see why this blog post is the most exciting one yet. Emily Esfah...

Comparison of "Othering" Utilized by Margaret Atwood and Wing Young Huie

Atwood, Margaret. The Handmaid's Tale . 1985. Huie, Wingyoung. Untitled https://www.wingyounghuie.com/p538617479 Untitled, part of Inside the Springs (2007) by Wingyoung Huie displays a cultural concept across the world. Upon first examination you see a group of older people doing a type of water aerobics. There is a wide range of both men and women actively participating in exercises utilizing noodles. In the picture all of the people are old and white, displaying a stereotype that only elderly people participate in water aerobics. Through connotative examination, the discovery is made that the image is meant to portray a message on stereotypes. It is stereotypical for the elderly to be limited to few activities, which are commonly categorized as low-intensity sports. These sports are then generalized as "elderly sports", stereotyping them even further. specifically water aerobics are seen as a typical elderly activity that is designed for the elderly and no on...
