In "The Rockpile", John and Roy do not always receive the same treatment from the adults in their family. Have you ever felt that you or someone else in your family was treated differently from everyone else? What caused the difference, and do you think it was fair? Explain.

 September 15th

Prompt Response: Sometimes I feel like me and my siblings get treated different by our parents.

 Like one of us can do something and not get in trouble but someone else would.
 I think it happens because our parents expect different things from us.
 Sometimes it’s annoying because it feels like someone is getting away with stuff.
 I know everyone is different though so I get why the rules might not always be the same.
 But sometimes it still feels pretty unfair.

Summary: Today we finished out writable assignment in class.

Reflection: I got to read in class today. I took away the different uses of words they said in the story.

 Prompt Response:  I think making a PowerPoint helps me understand the story better than just doing a worksheet. For my PowerPoint, I had Mr. Shiftlett. I really had to go into depth and see what he and said to understand his character. it made me pay attention more to his personality.

 Prompt Response: A fear I’ve overcome his back on my bike gift or crashing last year. I had a race on the second day of the race some girl collided on my back wheel and it cost me to flip over my bars and all over on the ground. I passed on the ground and I was screaming for help, but then I actually passed out. I woke up on the sideline stand and was stuttering and couldn’t remember much a couple weeks later after my crash and concussion had healed up I had to get on my bike. I was with a group and I was gonna do it. They thought of crashing and getting terrified me Sopha for weeks I was going super slow, hitting my brakes and swerving a ton. I had literally realized that me crashing actually it wasn’t my fault in the first place my writing skills had nothing to do with the crash so I kept telling myself that and over the next few weeks I felt more and more comfortable and I’m safe to say that I have fully recovered and overcome the fear.  Summary: In class today we had work...
