Fourteenth Class: Test Results & The Invalid's Story (Per. 5 & 6 on 9/14; Per. 1, 2, & 7 on 9/15)

Students described in their journal the differences between strangers' perceptions of Esperanza's neighborhood and her own as depicted in chapter twelve of The House on Mango Street, "Those Who Don't." They also listed their own neighborhoods/cities/towns and their perceptions of how visitor view their own communities. They considered whether these perceptions were similar or different from their own.

After a brief discussion of the recent earthquake and prayer, students took a quiz over Mark Twain's "The Invalid's Story."

Students reviewed their last test and completed a vocabulary and a grammar worksheet using excerpts from "The Invalid's Story."

Homework: Read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" (6).
