Students enjoy reading selected stories from Sandra Cisneros's novel, The House on Mango Street, and creating their very own book called, "The House on (Student's Street)", which includes stories and poetry about their lives and neighborhoods. Throughout this project (35 pages attached), students learn about plot, characters, setting, conflict, climax, resolution, similes, metaphors, descriptive writing, narrative writing, poetry writing, etc. Students enjoy the process of expressing themselves through creative writing.
