In response to the tenth chapter of The House on Mango Street, students wrote about a time in their lives when they enjoyed an experience like Esperanza's "joy ride." They explained whether they knew the experience was "against the rules" or dangerous and whether they or someone else involved got in trouble.
After Mr. Stone shared the text from Psalms that is the source for "If I Forget Thee, O Earth . . . ," the class took a quiz over the story.
Mr. Stone read aloud "Our Dead, Your Dead" by Kamila Shamsie. This story appeared Tuesday September 6, 2011 in the London newspaper The Guardian's series of 9/11 stories. Mr. Stone e xplained the five parts of setting at their role in the story.
Homework: Read "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" (590+)and review chapter eleven of The House on Mango Street.
