TISAS paragraphs- focus on topic sentences

HW: Write one topic sentence for EITHER "Museum Indians" using a metaphor we discussed and connecting it to a bigger idea, OR "Halfbreed Girl in a City School" and focusing on a symbol that reveals a larger idea.

Ex. In "Museum Indian," the author uses the metaphor comparing the mother's cut hair to a snake in order to reveal that we make sacrifices in the process of assimilation, but the significance of cultural history stays alive if we continue to value and honor it.

This topic sentence is DUE on Tuesday/Wednesday.
