Empowering Your Voice: Critiquing Books Through Reflective Essays

Yes, sir. Okay, so, like, later, when we get into more essays in the future, would we be able to make a criticizing essay about a book that we’re reading? Oh, you can make this one. Well, and it’s called, uh. You. You wanna say I wanna make a negative critique? Yes, I. Don’t. You ever agree with. If I give you a book and you don’t like it, that’s your personal opinion. If you didn’t like this book, you can tell me that right now. Okay. Will I. Will I. Will I be in my feelings just a little bit? But more. More than anything, guess what? I’m gonna be proud of you for finding your voice and standing with what you believe. This is not. I’m not teaching you to. To fall in line. I. One of the main things I want to teach you is to have your own voice and have your own ideas and to be able to stand on those ideas. So if I give you a book and you write it, and you are to write a, um, reflective essay, and you didn’t like this book, let this be the time to say it. And long as it’s written properly, guess what? You can still get an A. Okay. And thank you for that. Thank you for that. Any other questions? No, ma’am. You’re good? Yes, ma’am. Are you excited about writing? Yeah. Okay, so you were excited so that we can get A good essay down. Okay, this essay is not gonna be due today. Tomorrow. We’ll still be working on this next week. Not all next week, but a lot. Then you can definitely use these points of mine. Um, one thing that I really want you to do is not be upset if you are writing an essay and you’re writing an essay for me, and you don’t get an A the first time.
