Ch. 3 Example Post from Mrs. Perry:
I shared with you my first "AH HAH!" moment when we met in literature circles and talked about how Esperanza did not understand that the clothes from the poor box were for her (page 52). She'd always had a life of wealth, and now she and her mother are poor just like their former servants. In fact, Esperanza and Mama actually owe Miguel's family for helping them escape her ruthless uncles.
This made me think about how hard it is to adapt to change. I wonder: How will Esperanza cope with being poor?
I also am interested in finding out how Esperanza will react when it finally sinks in that she and Mama owe Miguel's family for helping them.
What a great start! I really like how Drew gave us a reason from the text for his prediction. Hope all went well today with the substitute! I'll see you tomorrow!
Jordyn,
What an insightful comment about Esperanza and her doll! I think you're right on track!
Great predictions everyone! Keep up the great work!
