Writing a Two-Chunk Paragraph

Today's Goal: Work with a partner to create a written analysis of Cisneros' use of literary devices to convey a theme.

The Plan:

1. Quiz
2. Read for Book Love
3. Write a two-chunk paragraph

TWO-CHUNK PARAGRAPH:

You are writing with a partner (that I have assigned to you).

PROMPT: Examine the way in which Cisneros uses literary devices to reveal aspects of Esperanza's identity?  For this two-chunk paragraph, you will be using the vignette "Four Skinny Trees."

STEP 1: Choose an aspect of Esperanza's identity that you want to write about.

STEP 2: Find evidence from the text that support the characteristic you choose. Make sure that your evidence involves a literary device AND supports the characteristic. (woah.)

STEP 3: Write a two-chunk paragraph! Make sure it has EVERY PART of the two-chunk paragraph.

HOMEWORK:

1. Prepare for your Vocab Test tomorrow (MAL/LUM Roots)
2. Don't forget about Book Love reading!
