Today in class Mr.Rease re-instilled the format of a Argument essay. At the beginning of an argumentative essay you have a introduction. In the introduction, you want to start with something to catch the readers attention. Also in the introduction you want to put your thesis at the end of the introduction paragraph. The type of thesis used for the assignment was the 3 point, because its meant to be used on basic five paragraph essays. Next is the body paragraph. In the body paragraph you have your claim, the evidence to support your claim, and a explaination.
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.
