Mother’s Tongue

Today in class today we read aloud an essay by Amy Tan called “Mothers Tongue.” In the essay Tan explains how her English skills on tests were mediocre and her Math skills were very strong. Tan also explains how she uses broken English with her mother yet she still understands what she is saying. While reading the story we were to identify claims and find evidence that backed up the claims. Towards the end of the class I learned that we will be reading a book, and that we must purchase the book by September 9th. As always the classroom was chilly and I learned many more things to stuff in my brain.
