The House on Mango Street Final Project

You are making your own version of a novel, similar to The House on Mango Street.
Part 1. Journal entries: Choose 4-5 topics/categories from the worksheet Its All About Me. ALSO choose 4-5
memorable events from your life to write about (an interesting/weird day, a party, a family gathering, a school day, a
sad day, something that scared you, etc). You should have 8-10 journal entries when you are finished.
Each journal must be typed on its own sheet of paper.
Give each journal entry a title (similar to the stories in the novel).
Each journal must focus on ONE DAY!
All journals must be at least 3 paragraphs. Feel free to write more when appropriate.
You must have a good introduction, your body must have details, and you must have a conclusion for each
journal.
Be sure it has one inch margins, and is at least 12 pt. font. If you do not have access to a computer or a
printer, you can make arrangements with me to type or print it before or after school in the writing lab.
Make sure everything is spelled correctly. Each misspelled word will receive a deduction of 5 points.
Correct grammar counts too!!!
2. The Its All About Me pages must also be in pen (blue or black), no cross outs, no misspellings. Dont rush
