After you have read The House on Mango Street, follow the directions provided below to create your  own collection of vignettes.  
Your steps: 

1. Read The House on Mango Street to see how Sandra Cisneros creates a collection of  vignettes that tell a story.  
2. Read How Do I Write a Vignette? to become more familiar with the characteristics of  a vignette.  
3. Complete the Theme Brainstorming to get you started with some writing ideas 
4. Start drafting!

Assignment Requirements:  
∙ Create a cover page for your “book” of vignettes. This cover page should include the  title of your book, your name, and  relevant illustrations that go with the themes of your vignettes
∙ You must have two typed vignettes that are at least two paragraphs in length.  These paragraphs should be substantial. However, none of your vignettes should be  longer than two pages.  
∙ Each vignette must convey a theme (think of the ones we have discussed in class) and  each vignette must focus on a different theme (in other words, don’t write four separate  vignettes about friendship).  
∙ Each vignette should have a title.  
∙ Each new vignette should start on a new page.  
∙ Each vignette must have at least two examples of figurative language (simile,  metaphor, personification for example—look these up if you cannot remember what they  are).  
∙ Each vignette must have description (imagery) to help your reader feel immersed in  the story.  
-Include a visual for each vignette that captures the essence or theme of your vignette.
∙ This is your time to break away from the traditional essay format. You can choose  whichever font you like; however, it must be easy to read. Use 11 or 12 point font please.  Be creative and have fun. ☺ 
How Do I Write a Vignette? 
Remember that a vignette is: 
● A form of a personal narrative or story (you should use personal pronouns in this form of  writing)  
● A short, descriptive passage  
● a memory, thought, hope, dream, or idea  
A vignette often includes:  
∙ Setting—background  
∙ Characters—may be real or fictional  
∙ Imagery & Figurative Language—provide vivid and descriptive details to help readers visualize  the story  
∙ Theme—the insight about life  
Think of a vignette as a short story, focused on a specific time, event, or moment in your life. It  captures one moment, just as a photo does. You will tell this story using DETAIL,  DESCRIPTION, & IMAGERY. Dive into the story like Esperanza does--make the reader feel  like he/she is there with you. 
Here are some ideas to get you started. You do not have to use these: 
- What is one of your favorite memories?  
- What is your family like? Similarities? Differences?  
- Have you moved to a new place? Describe that move or your experience.  -Describe a best friend or person close to you.  
- What is a childhood memory you have?  
- Describe an elementary  school experience.  
- Describe an experience where you’ve grown as a person.  
- Describe a family tradition or holiday experience
