Latin Literature for Teens: Podcast: http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschoolresources/podcast-episodes/latino-literature-teens-30972.html
Conversation with Matt de la Peña
One of the most exciting new voices in young adult literature is Matt de la Peña. Matt's novels explore how the
world looks from the perspective of low-income and minority teens as they struggle to figure out who they can be
in light of the obstacles they face. With pitch-perfect dialogue, richly-realized urban settings, and unforgettable
characters, Matt's books are sure to engage all kinds of readers. Tune in to hear Matt discuss some of the thinking
behind his newest novel, We Were Here.
Recommendations in this episode include
Ball Don't Lie (Delacorte, 2005)
Mexican WhiteBoy (Delacorte, 2008)
We Were Here (Delacorte, October 2009)
Poet and author Pat Mora was born on this day in 1942.
As you read the story aloud, have students listen for ways that the narrator finds the desert similar to a
mother. Have the class compare the words and images in the book to the lists they brainstormed earlier
and discuss the surprising number of ways the desert can be considered like a mother.
Share a few more extended metaphors, such as the poem "Fog" by Carl Sandburg or the Shakespearean
speech "All the World's a Stage." Discuss how these texts exemplify the definition of extended metaphor.
Ask students to write their own extended metaphor poems by asking them to choose a famliar concept
(such as school, family, or friends) and think of a surprising comparison concept. Provide prewriting
resources such as a two-column chart or a concept web to support students' writing process. Once they
have written their poems, ask students to share their writing with the class.
Connecting Past and Present: A Local Research Project
When students make real-world connections between themselves and their community, they can
participate in authentic communication activities based on issues that matter to them personally. In
this activity, students research a country or city, with small groups researching specific topics.
Students become active archivists, gathering photos, artifacts, interviews, and stories for a museum
exhibit that highlights a historical period of that place. The final project can be shared and displayed
in your classroom, in the school auditorium or in the library. Interactive Printing Press:
