  4. Today in class, i learned about prognosticating. At the beginning of class, I had absolutly no idea what a prognostic was. Coming out of class I could say "It tells of a future that could happen if you do a certain act. Something like, 'if you work out every day for thirty minutes you can become much more fit.' or something like that" or something like that. Now that I know what it means, I can use it in any nonfiction writing that I may write for... well, the rest of my life.

  9. I learned lot's of different NF craft moves, for example, I learned what a principle of authority was, a credible source. I also learned what prognosticating is which is imaging the future.

  14. Today I learnt about various types of persuasive craft moves for example:

    Prognostication, bandwagon, ethos, and many more.

    I would like to use ethos much more because then it brings credibility and facts that you know what you're talking about.
