My name; my identity

Today's Goal: Look closely at a small piece of text from House on Mango Street in order to analyze the narrative and figurative devices used to convey an idea

You need two tabs open on your computer because you're going to use all of them today:

1. This blog (always!)
2. Your English Journal (in Google Drive)

The Plan:

1. READ!
2. Check in about yesterday. How'd it go? What worked? What was confusing? What information do I need to know?
3. Close reading of My Name and some practice analysis in your English Journal
4. My Name Assignment Introduction

My Name Narrative:

After rereading the vignette "My Name" together as a class, and doing some analysis of her character, you will write a short narrative that explores your own name.
