Sandra Cisneros in the Classroom by Carol Jago

These works resonate with the challenges and promises of living in a multicultural society and appeal to students of all backgrounds. This handy volume provides biographical information, including an interview with Sandra Cisneros; activities to help students mine their own experiences as rich sources of personal writing using both Cisneros's nonfiction and fiction as models; methods for weaving literary terminology into the experience of literature study; samples of critical essays suitable for sharing with students; and lists of further resources for teaching both Cisneros's works and literature in general.
