4. Creating a Visual Picture of Mango Street
Draw a map that accurately locates at least 5 of the character’s houses, apartments, stores, etc. on Mango Street. You may also add other significant features of the neighborhood like pets, objects, trees, etc.
Select one quotation from the novel for each building or feature of the street and copy it onto your map in a physically or symbolically appropriate location.
For example if I were talking about Esperanza’s house, I might write the quotation “It’s small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you’d think they were holding their breath” (4) on the windows of the house.

5. Did I meet the DLT today?
Rate yourself on the meeting of today’s DLT: (Write your number on the top of your vignette) DLT: I can apply literary elements in my own writing. 1- I KNOW I met it. 2- I think I met it, but I might need more practice. 3- I tried to meet it or I know I didn’t meet it and need help. Be honest- this is a tool for your teacher to use to help you.
