 Prompt: Thinking about “The Rockpile,” which parent or guardian in your life has been the strictest when it comes to discipline? Explain how their approach to discipline has influenced you or shaped your behavior.

Prompt Reponse:

I remember my dad being strict when I was younger, but ever since he left that job was for my mom then. Growing up I guess she could have been strict at times, especially since we are a big family with many kids to handle as a single parent. Even though I disliked the discipline, it made me learn how to clean, be responsible, how to care for my younger siblings, and to choose better decisions growing up. I was not always the most behaved kid, but I did eventually grow mature and started to help my mom more. I grew to know more and be more wiser than my siblings were.

Summary:

Today we did notes and answered questions with Mr. Rease as we were reviewing the story, "The Rockpile." This was to look over and remember the story line while understanding its meaning, since we had a pop quiz on it. While we took the pop quiz we were allowed to talk with our table to try and figure out what answer to put together, by the end of class the average scare for everybody was around 70%. Question four, six and ten were the most missed ones with only a few people getting it.

Reflection: 

I learned that I need to pay more attention when reading the texts before another pop quiz pops up, I was paying attention but eventually I was too tired that day and dozed off at times. I also learned that some of us needed to learn how to work as a group with other people.
