I Presented My Recitation Today

Today I presented "When Great Trees Fall" by Maya Angelou. As I have very bad time talking in front of a crowd I think I did pretty well. When standing in front of the class I knew the poem, but when speaking my mind couldn't find the words. Afterward I got a headache for a short while. My favorites were Angel's, Shane's, Kiara's, and Za'kya's they had very enjoyable performances and little to no help from their posters.

Reading and Testing the wife of bath's tale

Today we have finished reading the wife of bath's tale. The lesson and theme of this story to give the women control of the relationship but in a healthy and good way. While reading how the Knight had to marry the old women I and how he felt about I could feel the same, until I figured that this was he real punishment and that he still gotten himself a faithful wife. The test we took today was very chill and easy, except for a couple questions but through it all I felt that I had control and had confidence that they were right. The class as a whole doing good on the quiz was a pleasant surprise.
