Preview the story and look at illustrations and predict
what will happen to the main character, Hsiang-ling.
 How would you describe Hsiang-ling? (beautiful,
intelligent, spoiled)
 Compare & Contrast Hsiang-ling and servant
 Setting
 Why does the author mention that Hsiang-ling is not
mean-spirited?
-Why do you think Hsiang-ling instructs her maid not to
mention her name? What does this tell the reader about
Hsiang-ling’s character?
-Consider whether what Hsiang-ling has done with the purse
is the right or wrong thing to do. Predict how this incident
might give rise to other events in the story.
- Explain how the conflict foreshadows what will happen later
in the story?
Interjections: I can explain the function of an interjection in a
sentence.
An Interjection is a word or phrase that shows excitement or
emotion.
If the interjection shows a very strong emotion, an
exclamation mark is used.
Examples:
Oh no!
Hey!
Ouch! “Ouch! That hurts!”
Wow! “Wow! That’s wonderful news”
Whoa!
Ugh! “Ugh! I don’t want to do my homework”
Yikes! “Yikes! There’s a snake!”
