Objective: By the end of class, students will read and interpret HOMS and make connections to reoccuring themes.
DO NOW
Explain how the skinny trees represent Esperenza. Be sure to mention physical likenesses as well as thoughts and feelings.
Direct Instruction
Read 74-84 / Discuss each vignette's message / theme.
Make Connections with the following themes:
1. A house vs a home - do you live in a house, a home or both? Do you dream of having more? Does your family dream of more or are they content?
2. What is the hardest part about being a teenager? Do you realize things now that you didn't several years ago? Do you think you still have a lot to learn socially, academically, emotionally? How and why?
3. Esperenza is talking less and less about her family. She seems to be drifting away as she grows up. Is this a necessary stage of maturing? Do all teenagers have to "make a break" of some sort to establish independence? Give me an example.
