Fiction: Sherman Alexie's "This Is What It Means To Say Phoenix, Arizona"

This is a really nice story--you might even find that it's a coming of age story.  Over the next week or so, I encourage you to keep your fiction reading practices in shape by reading and annotating this story---oh, but remember, background helps.  This story deals with Native American characters living on a reservation.  It would be good to get some background on reservations.  Check out this link:

Remember also to track vocabulary words that you're learning.  You can do so with this

As you read an annotate the following story, review the questions at the end which are an abbreviated version of a discussion journal, and will help you to write literary analysis paragraphs to build an interpretation for the story.  You are welcome to email me your work for feedback.
