"In this lesson, you will learn how an author uses dialogue to introduce a story by examining what the characters say to each other and determining how the story is set up."
"In this lesson you will learn how to speak in a different voice for each character by looking for clues that describe a character's voice and body language. "
"In this lesson you will learn how to determine the author's point of view and distinguish how it is different from your own by looking for strong words that state an opinion or feeling. "
Step 1) Determine author's point of view (how she/he feels about the topic), by rereading text for those strong words clues. Write down the strong words. Write a sentence summing up what those strong words were telling me about the author's point of view.
Step 2) Compare to how I feel about the topic. Then decide if it was similar/different than how I feel about the topic.
"In this lesson you will learn how the author influences what you know in a story by examining the point of view that is used to describe events."
Identify the narrator BECAUSE it influences what you know in a story because the story is told through that point of view.
1st
2nd
3rd
How does the narrator's point of view determine what you know in the story?
Steps:
1) Identify the point of view of the story. (How -- identify the key words.)
2) Ask, "Which character's thoughts/feelings are shared with the reader?" -- How: T chart for characters and put evidence on each side to organize/show the evidence. -- Why is this important? It reveals who the narrator is focusing on and identifying with.
3) Ask: What info do I know because the narrator has chosen that point of view? How: Jot down evidence from the text. -- Note: this could confirm who and why the narrator is focusing on and identifying with the character.
4) Ask: What information do I NOT know about the events because the author's choice of point of view keeps that information from me? -- Note: this could confirm who and why the narrator is focusing on and identifying with the character.
5) After doing the above steps, go back to big question: How does the narrator's point of view determine what you know in the story? Use T chart and notes you jotted down to answer question.
Summarize what you know, using evidence from your notes. State who the narrator identified with, then support claim (what you think) with evidence from the text (by using your notes).
Find similarities/differences from multiple points of view by analyzing multiple points of view on the same topic.
Point of view tells how the person sees the world based on his/her life experiences. -- How they feel about the world.
Common mistake: You see only your own view, and don't see all the other views as we read, and we don't stop to see how the different views are connected.
Common Core
Steps
1) Skim the article and highlight key words form the question
→ Key words and what that means in the text
2) create a chart to organize the info
then look for evidence for each character (or whatever the purpose is of the text)
3) reread and ask: Do any of these ideas sound similar to each other?
4) explain how the ideas you found are related
"In this lesson, you will learn how to determine the author's point of view by analyzing character descriptions and character actions."
Analyzing point of view
Common mistake: we like the story so much that we don't stop to analyze whose point of view (which is their perspective = their side of the story)
1st person -- inside the story -- key words: I my me
3rd person -- looking in -- he, she, they
Steps:
1) Determine point of view (1st or 3rd)
2) Ask: how does this shape the story?
3) Ask: why did the author make this choice?
