Today in class we learned about the synthesis essay. In a synthesis essay you get sources. You use the sources to pull evidence from and support a claim. There are many types of source. The types are data, image, article , website ,and newspapers.
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.
