Blues:
First of all, I want to say that I appreciate the work you
all put in this morning. Small group work is made and broken on each student’s
willingness to work, and you guys clearly came to play today.
Tonight’s homework is to finish the characterization graphic
organizers that you began in your teams of 3. Remember that you are inferring
the character traits of Esperanza, her mother, her father, Nenny, and the house
itself from the evidence presented to you from pages 3 to 11. After that, you
are to make a list of figurative language used by Sandra Cisneros from pages
12-25. Note any patterns you see and make connections to the figurative
language from p. 3-11 when applicable. Tomorrow we will be discussing our thoughts
on Esperanza, her relationships to her family and neighborhood, and the connections
between Esperanza and Cisneros (where we can), but you need to do the work and
reading before you can speak intelligently on any of the above.
As for me, I’m focusing on correcting the second drafts of
your belief essays, so please make sure everything is submitted.
That’s all for now. If you have any questions, find the
answers. If you run out of options, email me.
Word hard: luck means nothing.
