DO NOW
A theme of HOMS is "growing up." Esperenza was very NAIVE in the earlier vignettes but becomes wiser and more aware as she has new experiences and realizations. In three columns, in a span of 10 years, write down,
5 yrs ago
who you were / Who you are now / Who you will be in 5 yrs
Direct Instruction
Finish reading HOMS.
Guided / Independent
On chrome books, create a mini, personal, picture book. This book is not an autobiography. Instead, similar to HOMS, it is a series of episodes in your life from which you have learned something. This Book will consist of:
1. A title page with picture (perhaps a picture of your dream house)
2. 3 vignettes - each based on one from HOMS at least 6-8 sentences each.
3. At least one use of figurative language in each vignette (a simile, metaphor, personification, etc)
3. 1 pictures per vignette.
Share with me on google docs. If complete and in proper format, I will print and put together like a book for you.
