Rapping My History Class

I think the most challenging courses I took this year was AP Lang but not because of the work or reading but because I did not give me 100% in that class. I think that is something I did wrong and I should have changed that as fast as I could. My grade could have been better in that class then what I got both semesters. The expectations I wanted to meet did not end up that way and actually ended bad for me which I regret. Some of the strengths I discovered this year was being able to ask questions and participate in class without being embarrassed and also talk to my teachers individually which was something that was really hard for me freshman and sophomore year. There are some assignment that I am really proud of and other that I think I

Participation is the act of participating and being involved in activities, decisions, planning and sharing. Participation is important for the children as well as the parents in school settings. When parents and children are involved in decision-making it allows them to feel connected to the school and feel like their voice is being heard and wishes met. Children feel that their opinions and feelings matter, this is important to social skill development, as they will feel apart of the school community. Children who participate in school activities such as sports gain self-confidence and team building skills. Communication skills improve, stress is relieved and friendships build as children learn to trust and depend on their peers.

Tell me about an assignment that was too difficult for you. How did you resolve the issue?

What was the most challenging thing about this semester? Did you handle it well or did you let it get to you?

What was the most challenging part of this semester for you? And why was this challenging?

The challenge from first semester was reading To kill a Mockingbird and being able to understand what the book was about. Also writing everything into your own words. There really was not anything else that was difficult. Everything was not that simple. Not everything in this English class will be easy it will start to get difficult as it goes on. I did not find anything else a challenge but the book on To kill a Mockingbird it was difficult to understand what it was about. But then i knew how it all started and how it somewhat ended.

Participation grades are common in classrooms nowadays, but do they have any positive effect whatsoever on the class itself? Currently, participation grades give most, if not all, introverted students an incredibly hard time; reduce the learning interest of most students; and leave some teachers vulnerable to “grade challenges”. Now, I’m not stating that giving participation grades can lead teachers and potentially a school through a one-way road to ruin, but I will say that handing out too much will most likely have a negative effect on not only the teacher, but the students as well. A teacher’s job is to teach the students on

For the second quarter, the hardest thing for me personally was the fact that I was moved to a completely different group. A group with which I had no prior experience working with or any knowledge about their thought process and found myself scrambling to get all of the information while trying to make edits on all the different parts to "pull my own weight." I don't think I ever fully overcame this and it can be seen through the quality of my work since I focused more on getting it done rather than making it

I would have to say the first case of Bettina. This was a challenge because this was my first class, had no idea what the professor was looking for and trying to show that I had done my diligent. Did not want to be judged or have the teacher think that even though the book was giving us the answer did not want to take the book information but trying to bring a take to the table in hopes that the professor see that you are a hard worker.

The Challenge work was a great opportunity to get to know each and everyone of my classmates. It involved activities that I never knew even existed like the jump rope challenge and the marble challenge. Each activity required the class to work as a team and to come up with different strategies so that we could move onto the next activity. Even though these lessons were made for fun they each had a purpose. The first few activities like stretches were so that we could get to know our classmates. Then we went onto doing the egg, chicken, and hawk activity, which was also so that we could get to know each other. After that we split into two different groups and got to know them. We started with stories that occurred in our lives. Then moved onto

(CHALLENGERS IM FACING SO FAR) Some challenges this semester have been translating, conducting intakes in a timely manner, remembering to organize the documents inside the files im working on properly, finding free all day parking close to the WLC if I don’t arrive to work before 9am

Music defines who you are. It has really impacted my life. Different occasions dictate the type of music I listen to because it significantly changes my mood when i exercise, relax, or celebrate.

I never thought that I would do this. I was in dance class rehearsing a group dance with some of the girls in my class. We were doing hip hop. I thought, “I really don’t like how we are doing hip hop.” This sentence played over and over again in my head. I’m sure that you can infer that I am not a big fan of hip hop.

I caused myself to miss out on a possible great experience with music. Since the start of 2016, a new rap era called “Mumble Rap” caused a spur of people to spew their dislike of rappers who predominately used adlibs in their songs along with extremely low rapping ability. Well known mumble rappers are: Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Famous Dex, Kodak Black, and Desiigner. I joined this wave of not liking mumble rap to make myself seem better and more knowledgeable to this who listen to mumble rap. I would always say that “I only listen to lyrical people, except for Lil Wayne” or “Mumble rappers are trash and I do not like that”. You will usually see me criticizing people who listen to this new music because I felt as though the music was poisoning to our minds. Contrary to what I was saying, these were not my true feelings. The only reason I said these things was because I followed the thoughts and opinion of the much older people of the hip hop audience. I wanted to be all high and mighty as those individuals and show that I too also enjoyed the rap era from the 1990s to early 2013. Although I preached about how bad this new rap era is and the kind of music I listen to, no one pictured me how I pictured me. I began to notice more and more often, so I began to feel less dislike for the new rap and eventually not care if it is played around me. I would here one of the mumble rapper’s song on the radio and I would find myself liking it. If I am by myself, I would look

Since ancient times music has been a means of communication and expression. The beating of drums, clapping of hands, stomping of the feet, and the rhythmic chants of the people brought a form of symphony to it all. In a research article by Denise Herd (2014) “Evolutionary scientists believe that a musical culture would have helped prehistoric human species to survive because the music coordinates emotions, helps important messages to be communicated, motivates people to identify with a group, and motivates individuals to support other group members.” Over the decades this form of expression has continued to change. With the rise of each new generation of people there is an addition or a twist to what music once was, there causing it to evolved
