Figurative Language Practice

Hello everyone, I apologize that I cannot be with you today. I fully expect that you will be respectful to the adult in the room who is here in my place!

Today's Goal: Identify and analyze Cisneros' use of figurative devices in The House on Mango Street.





The Plan:

1. Read for 10 minutes quietly.
2. Take your House on Mango Street quiz. (NO books. You have 15 minutes.)
3. Work on the figurative language worksheet. You may work with the people around you to have conversations about the work, but ultimately, you have to write down your own words. You also should not be speaking any louder than necessary to quietly talk to the people at your tables. This is due at the end of the period.
4. Catch yourself up on your English Journal Assignments (See chart to the left). If you are missing any, the instructions should be found on the blogpost from that date. I would also recommend asking a peer to help/explain it to you.

Homework:

• Read House on Mango Street pages 46-52, and flag one thematic concept in each vignette
• "Chanclas"
• "Hips"
• MAL Root Handout Due Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 16
• You will have one more HOMS reading quiz before break. It is on Friday, December 18
