Student Practice: Read the following sentences from “My English,” by Julia Alvarez. Replace the underlined nouns with an appropriate pronoun. Soon, Julia began to learn more English, at the Carol Morgan School. Why my parents didn’t first educate us in our native language by enrolling us in a Dominican school, I don’t know. Besides all these versions of Spanish, every once in a while another strange tongue emerged from Papi’s mouth or Mami’s lips.

NOTE for personal writing: Using pronouns exclusively or excessively may create confusion for the reader. Avoiding the use of pronouns becomes repetitive. Pronouns must use the correct number and person.

On Your Own: Julia could make no sense of this “harder Spanish.” Read the following sentences from “My English,” by Julia Alvarez. Rewrite them using the appropriate pronouns, and combine them to create a well-constructed and interesting paragraph. Julia could make no sense of this “harder Spanish.” So, Julia tried by other means to find out what was going on. Julia knew Mami’s face by heart. When the little lines on the corners of Mami’s eyes crinkled, Mami was amused. When Mami’s nostrils flared and she bit her lips, Mami was trying hard not to laugh. May be completed with a partner (ESE) or a small group (ELL).

On Your Own: Take a look at how Julia Alvarez wrote this paragraph. Do you like it? Why or why not? What might you change? I could make no sense of this “harder Spanish,” and so, I tried by other means to find out what was going on. I knew my mother’s face by heart. When the little lines on the corners of her eyes crinkled, she was amused. When her nostrils flared and she bit her lips, she was trying hard not to laugh. (p. 115) May be completed with a partner (ESE) or a small group (ELL).
