Objective: By the end of class, students will analyze short fiction in order to improve reading comprehension and make real life connections
DO NOW
How much of where you live and what kind of house you live in defines you as a person? What does it say about you? Have you ever moved and become "the new kid"? If so, describe that experience.
Direct Instruction
Discuss the difference between a house and a home.
Read House on Mango Street - vignettes 1 - 6.
Guided Instruction
Discuss SELF- IDENTITY. As you answer the questions on the handout provided, consider the influences in your personal life that make you who you are.
Independent
Answer comprehensive, thematic, stylistic questions as well as the personal response for each vignette on the handout provided. I will collect the "House on MAngo Street" and "Hair" questions by the end of this class.
Check for understanding
Review the answers for questions for first vignette and ensure comprehension of figurative language as well as theme.
Exit Pass
If you start to see yourself differently (change in your self-identity), will others see you differently as well? Or will they always see you as the same??
