Today in class we did a practice body paragraph. Before writing a body paragraph you must have a thesis. In the thesis you must have a topic and three claims. In the body paragraph you use a claim form your thesis. You then restate the claim. After this you cite evidence from experience, observation or readings. Then you explain your evidence, You cite evidence and explain the evidence at least twice. Lastly you conclude the paragraph.
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.
