Review: Participles and Participle
Phrases (HC 46-47)
► The
present participle is formed by adding
–ing to a form of the verb.
► The past participle of regular verbs is
formed by adding –ed to a form of the verb.
► Some past participles are irregular and their
forms must be memorized




Examples:
Stand = (have) stood
Shoot = (have) shot
Mistake = (have) mistaken
Participles can be part of a verb phrase or can
act as adjectives.
In a verb phrase, the present participle is
completed with a form of the helping verb be
(am, is, are), and the past participle is
completed with a form of the helping verb
have (have, has, had.)
Examples: is moving, am standing (present
participle + form of be)
has taken, had understood (past participle +
form of have)
When used as adjectives, present
and past participles come before
a noun.
Examples: peeling paint, a hidden
treasure
A participle phrase consists of a
participle followed by a word or
group of words that modifies it or
receives its action.
Examples: Running desperately;
climbing the tree.
A participle phrase acts as an
adjective to modify a noun or
pronoun. It can come before or after
the noun it modifies.
Examples: Running desperately, the
man stayed ahead of the wave.
The girl climbing the tree will be
safe.

Theme is a reoccurring idea or subject in
a story. A theme can also be thought of
as the principle message in a literature
selection.
Many of the stories included in “The
House on Mango Street” share a theme.
What is that theme?
Possible Response: Many of the stories
are about the conflict between dreams
and reality – specifically the dream of
wanting to live somewhere nice, and the
reality of living in a place that’s not very
nice. The stories also explore the way
that we belong to the place where we
grow up, even if we’re not proud of it.
The story also seems to suggest that we
grow to appreciate our roots more and
more as we grow older.
How does this story reflect our
target word, “movement?”
In this story, movement refers to the
family’s move into a new house as
well as the family’s unfulfilled desire
to move into a nice house. Movement
also refers to the author’s desire as a
young girl to move on from her
neighborhood, and her desire as an
adult to go back to her neighborhood.
Answer It: Page 77-78
► Generalize:
draw conclusions based on presented
information
► Describe: State detailed information about an idea
or concept
► Paraphrase: Restate information in somewhat
different words to simplify and clarify
► Explain: Express understanding of an idea or
concept
► Summarize: Restate important ideas and details
from multiple paragraphs or sources
Sample: On the surface, Esperanza and Nenny
do not seem close. But deep down they share a
strong bond because they are similar and they
understand each other.
Sample: By comparing her house to a cat with
its feet tucked under, Esperanza is saying that
the house is compact and small, like a cat in that
position. She also suggests that the house is
sagging, since a cat in that position would
appear to be slouching. This suggests the house
is far from being well-built or sturdy.
Sample: People are influenced by where they
grow up, whether or not they are proud of that
place. Someday you will begin to appreciate
your background and return here.
Sample: Esperanza is declaring that she will write
about a girl like herself – someone who feels
ashamed of her home and wants to deny that she
belongs there. Because the author is writing about
such a girl – Esperanza – the reader can begin to
assume that the author is comparing herself to
Esperanza, and that the story is in some ways
autobiographical.
Sample: Esperanza says that writing stops the
“ghost” from aching. Writing helps to soothe the
frustration and disappointment Esperanza feels from
never seeing her dream of moving into a nice house
come true. She also says it helps to set her free
from this disappointment, so she does not feel
caught in despair.
