Make a 2-3 minute oral presentation ____ NOT A POWERPOINT ____(1) briefly summarizing what happens in the vignette you read, (2) point out any interesting literary devices you see, or tell the class about anything else you think reflects Cisneros's unique writing style.

If you think the vignette has a theme - describe it. Does it fit in with any other theme that is developed in the novel?

I want you to share the vignette page(s) on screen so the class can see the story as you talk about it. Highlights and annotated marks can be included on the page.

PRACTICE ! ... PRACTICE ! ... PRACTICE YOUR PRESENTATION SO THAT IT IS NO LONGER THAN 3 MINUTES AND NO SHORTER THAN 2 MINUTES.
