Jay's Tips - Model for Tortilla Quote Sandwich - Soul Sistahs

Estimados Estudiantes,

We are almost there!

We are on the verge of completing an important American novel.

* Soon we will work together in groups to celebrate our reading.

* Look forward to sharing your Tortilla Quote Sandwich.

Here is what you do

Create a Tortilla Curtain Quote Sandwich

First, introduce your Tortilla MVP - 100 words
In the middle, insert your Tortilla Quote – followed by your in-text citation
At the end of the paragraph, explain your choice - 100 words

Here is what mine will look like:

Soul Sistahs

America is my MVP. Through the chaos and violence of The Tortilla Curtain, America keeps her cool. She has her dream. She knows life is rough, but she’s not going to let anything or anybody get between her and her goal. My favorite scene comes when she meets face to face with a coyote in the woods. She doesn’t even blink: "She looked at the coyote so long and so hard that she began to hallucinate, to image herself inside those eyes looking out...” ( Boyle 179 ). They have no money. Her husband beats her. She has just been raped. But, she’s not taking a step back. She focuses on this little white house that she wants to live in. The one with a gas stove and a refrigerator and chickens in the yard. Like the coyote, she keeps moving forward, She is a survivor. She is relentless.

For full credit, this is what you have to do:

* Give your MVP an interesting title

* Insert an image at the top of your submission

* Respond to two of your classmates

This will be great. You will see.

Paz,
