Creative Writing

In the Honors class, students read the short story “The Rockpile” by James Baldwin. Many students were able to find relevance in the story thus leading to a greater understanding of the theme and central idea. After students analyzed, read, and participated in a class discussion, students were given a creative writing assignment. Students were asked to create a new ending or continue "The Rockpile" from the current ending. Afterwards, students shared their story with the class. For the most part, every student did a really awesome job. The stories were detailed, interesting, and captivating!
