"The House on Mango Street"

At the beginning of the period, as students worked on a warm-up journal about their names, I collected the nature writing portfolios. Following this, we shared some of the name journals and I collected the "Sonrisas" homework.
After a brief introduction to the style and theme of The House on Mango Street, we began our dialectical journals and read the book's first chapter.

HW: Write about your name following the prompts on the handout (and the example of chapter 4 of HMS).
