OBJECTIVE: By
the end of class, students will be assessed on similes and metaphors,
continue reading The House On Mango Street, make real life connections
to text, explore materials with thematic connection to text, and use
graphic organizers to synthesize their understandings of these themes
and connections.
DO NOW:
Simile and Metaphor quiz!
DIRECT INSTRUCTION:
Quick Write:
What
are some reasons people may immigrate to the Untied States? Is this
really the land of opportunity? Why do some people come here illegally?
Do you think it’s worth the risk? Why or why not?
GUIDED PRACTICE:
Hand out HOMS books.
Begin reading “Born Bad,” on p. 58, “Elenita, Cards, Palm, Water” on p. 62, and “Geraldo No Last Name,” on p. 66
Using Before and After Chart, respond to BEFORE READING sections based on Geraldo.
Read “The 9/11 Disappeareds”
Fill out remainder of chart, in the AFTER READING sections.
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:
Once you have finished, begin developing ideas for your titles and first vignette.
You
will type or write a first draft of your vignette. I will edit this for
you, so that you can type a good, final copy tomorrow.
TAKE YOUR TIME! These should be well crafted, personal, and thoughtful.
EXIT PASS:
Do
you believe in fortune tellers? Why or why not? Is it a waste of money,
or is it worth the chance at getting to know your future? Do fortune
tellers get lucky? Or are they really communicating with another plane
of existence?
