Bellwork 01/22/2008

In the book The House on Mango Street, the section "Boys and Girls" ends with this line:

"Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor."

What does the author mean by this statement? Think beyond the literal level and post at least 75 words on your blog.

GrammarCasts

For this assignment you will create a podcast type video to explain a particular grammar term, rule, or concept. The video must be at least 1 ½ minutes long (not including credits) and may not be longer than 3 minutes (including credits). Your video must give viewers a thorough understanding of your topic, including definitions, explanations, usages, and examples. Your video may be humorous, serious, or anywhere in between, and may include video clips, still pictures, music, sound effects, and more. Have fun with this video, but remember the primary reason for creating it is to explain a grammar topic to your audience!
