Story Pyramid for Jouanah: The Hmong Cinderella
By Jewell Reinhart Coburn with Tzexa Cherta Lee
Jouanah
Kind Quiet
Moutainous Rural Agricultural
Mother became a cow
Father remarried a cruel woman
The cow died of broken heart
Jouanah went dressed beautifully to celebrate
Jouanah and Shee-Nang fell in love despite disguise
Pyramid created by Kelly Reardon
I would use this book in my classroom for a literature mapping exercise. Students could use various types of maps to identify what happened in the beginning, middle and end along with how the plot developed and how the events from the story determined the ending of the story. By identifying the beginning, middle and ending events, students are able to understand how each part of the story affects the next and develop better reading comprehension.
