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 "Red Clowns." An answer key is included. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats.
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.
By completing this exercise, students will:
- Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
- Infer a reason the author named this vignette "Red Clowns"
- Consider the role of the setting in context
- Discern the greater significance of a given detail (Esperanza's being labeled "Spanish girl")
- Discern the intended effect of figurative language in context ("the moon that watched")
- Consider tone in context
- Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
- Apply knowledge of literary devices including personification and situational irony
- Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant evidence
- Write about literature with clarity, accuracy, and precision
