The following is a set of lesson plans that was created to offer an alternative to a book report using Sandra Cisneros' book The House on Mango Street . This lesson can be modified to suit any book or story however. Cut pictures, words, advertisements, or bits of articles from magazines that in any way remind you of The House on Mango Street . Glue sporadically over paper until entire paper is covered. Students take turns giving a presentation of their collage, and how the pictures they chose correlate with the book.
Students share their favorite part of the book, and of their collage.
The teacher can grade the students in several areas. See below for a grading rubric.
