Hey- I talked to Sal earlier today and we were discussing which vignettes to use for the lesson. I thought using "The House on Mango Street," "My Name," and "Darius & the Clouds." I think that these three vary in content and will give students a broad sense of what a vignette could be about. I think they are also good selections for discussion. As I read each vignette, I asked a series of questions that would serve as a springboard for discussions, writing ideas, etc. If you guys were interested in seeing what I've done, I will include that. If there are any other vignettes you'd rather use, please let me know. I just thought that I'd put in my two cents!

Also, when can we get together to finalize everything? We also need the NJCCCS. I have the standards printed out, but I don't understand them. Are any of you familar with the standards? -Jen

Hi Everyone,

I hope that all of you check the wiki, although I finally got around to it today. The vocabulary activity that I came up with is broken up into three activities (one for each vignette). Since the language is "seemingly simple" I focused on literary terms for the vocabulary assignment. I will put the content standards on the task and will be ready to go for tonight.

See everyone in class, Lisa
