Today in class we went over a letter. From the letter we began to form a rhetorical analysis essay. First we read the letter. Then we used a SoapsTone graphic organizer to analyze the letter. Next we formed a theis statement. After this we began to create the body paragraphs.
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.
