Item 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 twenty-third vignette titled “Born Bad.” 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 such as a dictionary or thesaurus
  • Explore cause-and-effect relationships
  • Discern the intended effects of the author’s stylistic choices
  • Examine how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
  • Articulate the power of photographs, as well as their limitations
  • Conduct brief research on Our Lady of Guadalupe in order to explain why the name Guadalupe suits the character
  • 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.

Materials are available for teaching a variety of texts such as:
