Today you took the House on Mango Street test. If you played Jeopardy again last night and used the study guide, you should have been fine. There were no surprises to this test. Mr. Hannah and I told you exactly what would be on the test--short answer, multiple choice, annotation, and open response. I hope you all studied and did well.
As for the take-home section, please make sure to annotate the vignette according to the standards we have gone over in class. Remember to annotate the title, highlight or underline important information, make comments in the margins, identify literary terms, circle and define unknown vocabulary words, and write down the message.
As for the paragraphs, remember the format we discussed in class:
M--main idea (topic sentence that has the title and author of the book, and restates and answers the question)
E--evidence (quote from the story)
A--analysis (explain the quote in other words, analyze it)
L--link (concluding sentence that summarizes the main idea and adds a new idea)
This section of the test is worth 30 points so please do your very best work on it.
Also, make sure to get a head start on your House on Mango Street projects, because as we said before, we will not be giving any class time to complete this.
Next week, we will be jumping right into To Kill A Mockingbird.
Have a great weekend!
