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 vignette titled “Alicia and I Talking on Edna’s Steps.” 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
  • Discern the greater significance of a given detail (“I like Alicia because once she gave me a little leather purse with the word GUADALAJARA stitched on it”)
  • Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
  • Compare two characters in the novel (Esperanza and Alicia)
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including metaphor and paradox

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.

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