Item description

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 “Minerva Writes Poems.” The variety of question types also helps students prepare for standardized testing scenarios: main idea questions, detail questions, author’s craft questions, and more. An answer key is included. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. 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
  • Cite textual evidence in support of claims
  • Write with clarity and precision
  • Apply knowledge of various literary devices including situational irony and oxymoron
  • Apply basic knowledge of Roman mythology to the character of Minerva to discern and explain the irony of the character’s name
  • Articulate the significance of the pancake dinner detail, taking into consideration Minerva’s financial distress
  • Analyze what Minerva’s behavior reveals about her psychological state
  • Make logical inferences about characterization in context
  • Analyze the author’s craft, articulating the intended effect of figurative language
  • Identify and explain an example of double denotation in the text
  • Discern the tone of a given excerpt
  • Analyze how Minerva influences Esperanza’s outlook on her future
