Today in class we scored responses to yesterday’s assignment. The first essay we scored was a 2. That’s because they failed to analyze the strategies, had a lack of development, organization and a lack of control. It was only 1 long paragraph. It also didn’t have enough info. The second essay we scored was a 6. The six is the score that we all strive to get. The second essay had adequately analyzed the strategies. It only had lapses in diction.
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.
