Thursday
The House on Mango Street
- We talked about the motifs we didn't get to discuss yesterday.
- We reread "The Monkey Garden" chapter.
- We got into pairs, and we each drew eight things that we saw (or heard, or smelled) in the Monkey Garden on a poster.
- We posted the posters at the front of the room, and we had a gallery walk.

- I handed out and went over the Mango essay guidelines, as well as a list of the motifs everyone in class came up with.
- I handed out and went over the outline for this essay.
- We spent the rest of the block reading "The Art of Citation", thinking about our topic, starting our outlines, and starting to write our essays.
