 * In-class: We listened to the Sandra Cisneros interview about what inspired her to write //The House on Mango Street//. We annotated the first chapter of the novel and discussed the themes and literary devices Cisneros employs.
 * HW: Please remember to turn in your signed forms for the AUP and GAFE. Students received a sheet with questions for one of the first five vignettes. Read through the questions and mark up the answers or possible answers to the questions. Use the questions as a guide to your annotation. After reading and annotating your vignette, type a response (250 words) based on your vignette. You must have a thesis and supporting evidence. Look at what you amrked on your annotations and what interpretations you dveloped.
