Lupe+and+Me+Reinforcing+Activity

The Teacher will read Lupe and Me aloud to the students.

Immediately after reading Lupe and Me, the teacher will ask the students to do a fast write for about five minutes about their feelings about the story, any connections they can make, or other thoughts relevant to the story.

Then the students will turn to the person or partner next to them and share what they have written. This allows students to share their thoughts in a small setting.

Finally, the students will be asked to share some of the information to the class in a group discussion. The teacher will guide the students to focus on why they thought Lupe left Susan's house, personal experiences with immigration, and why Lupe came to this country in the first place.
