Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

 Prompt Response: 

One thing my parents forbade me from doing when I was growing up was wandering too far from our block when I played outside. At the time, I felt like it was an unfair rule because all I wanted was to explore with my friends. But now I understand they set that boundary to keep me safe. They worried that if I went too far, they wouldn't be able to keep an eye on me or know where I was, similar to how in "The Rockpile" the parents are protective because they know the dangers the kids don't fully understand.


Summary: 

In class we read the story "The Rockpile" and a literary circle.


Reflection: 

I learned how to come up with original critical thinking questions about a story that the reader can connect to.
