Description
Help students go beyond basic reading comprehension and support the development of high school close reading skills with this set of analysis questions for The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros with emphasis on the vignette titled "Beautiful and Cruel." An answer key is included. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats.
By completing this exercise, students will:
- Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
- Define words and phrases as they are used in the text
- Verify interpretations of language using reference materials including a dictionary or thesaurus
- Examine how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
- Explore cause-and-effect relationships
- Make logical predictions based on context clues
- Compare and contrast two characters (Nenny and Esperanza)
- Apply knowledge of literary devices including personification
- Support claims with sound reasoning and relevant textual evidence
- Write about literature with clarity, accuracy, and precision
This resource may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using this resource for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.
Copyright restrictions do not allow for novel content to be included, so the purchaser is responsible for providing students with the text.
