Reflection: 11-30-21

 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.

 Today in class we finished up our benchmark assessment. We only had to complete our extended response question. We had to write 2-3 paragraphs. I’m confident that I did ok on my test. This was the most challenging part of the test. Only because I don’t know how to make an essay that short.

 Today’s class was lack luster. We didn’t do anything interactive. We started class off with an assessment on terms we haven’t looked at or thought about since writing them in our notebooks. Since I did do a bit of cram studying I think I did pretty well on the test. After completing this test we did a pre-test. This test wasn’t very hard either, it was boring though. I also didn’t get to complete my extended response question.

 Today in class we read a fictional story. In this story their was a “frame” which was like and introduction that led to a more elaborate story. Todays story was called Ambush, in the frame of this story the narrators daughter ask him has he ever killed anyone. He lied to the daughter by say no. In the next part of the story we see the event a that led up to his kill. In class we also discussed whether there could be a good or bad kill. To me they can be a good kill, in my opinion this is when you kill some one with good reason. We also talked about the theme of the story which i felt was that your past action can affect your love in the present. Todays assignment was interesting and very interactive.
