teaching chess and life

       This summary was about a young man growing up in Washington heights. Instead of following in the path of his peers Carlos decided to take a different path. Carlos' mentor taught him how to play chess , to occupy his time and keep him off the streets. Carlos became a mentor because his coach inspired him to do better and work hard.

  1. Excellent start Lexi! You do a great job summarizing the main ideas of the short story. Remember to take the next step with reader response-- write a few sentences about how the text made you feel, what you thought about when reading, and if you have any connections to the story/ main characters :) Great job editing-- I see no spelling/ grammar issues!
