In today’s class we started off with the bell ringer. Today’s bell ringer always about the most important moment in history to African Americans. I wrote about Barack Obama’s presidency. Next we took a few notes on how to read poetry, and annotations.Lastly we used the annotating steps to under stand the given poem. Today’s poem was about how much blacks have been through.
Today in class we read a short story that wasn't really short. The was called Rockpile by James Baldwin. We had a discussion about the story in class. The story was about a hangout for older kids called the rockpile. The rockpile was considered a bad place for younger kids because it was dangerous. One day Johns brother Roy decided to go to the rockpile even though their mother told them not to. While at the rockpile their was a gang fight and Roy was injured. The father tried to blame John but the mother defended him.
