Summary: Stretch your imagination
Comment: I thought The House on Mango Street was a an interesting book. It shows character that not many authors use. Sandra Cisneros used a different way to express the feelings in her book. She used a series of short stories called vignettes. The vignettes may be hard at times to remember, but they are a quick read. Cisneros's style of writing is simple, so it is easy to comprehend. Seeing life from a child's point of view is a great way to expand anyone's imagination.

Summary: Fluffy lesson plan sequence
Comment: I thought this unit plan was going to be more substantial but it did not meet any subject matter standards. The goals and objectives were shallow and not based on any concrete skills. It seems that the whole lesson plan was focused on getting a student to read the story and understand it but there were no skills emphasized. The goals say things like: to read, to appreciate, to understand. (nothing is measureable or concrete!)

The questions were shallow and the activities were not worth the money I paid for. What a waste of money!!

If you teach in California don't waste your money. Nothing here meets our Language arts teaching standards.

Summary: The House on Mango Street
Comment: Well I thought the novel was good, and I really enjoyed reading it. I liked the part where she talks about their hair and how she described them like you could smell it. I thought it was good because it's kind of like the real life style people have, or are in. It makes the reader realize what some kids have to go through. Well I have an uncle and his family that are like that. I would recommend the book to others so they could read it and know that is/are peoples lifestyles, and they could realize what they are going through and help them out.
