Day 28: 10/17/16 - C Day: Point of View & Making Inferences about a Text.

Good Morning 6th Graders,      

          Today we will finish our notes on point of view and discuss chapters 17 & 18. Please make sure you have:

• Independent Reading Book
• Freak the Mighty
• ELA Folder & Notebook
• Red Folder & Agenda

Now Work on the Point to Ponder.

                        Thank you

                       Mr. Trumble
Point to Ponder: Look at the 2 images below. In your ELA notebook write down 2 inferences for each image.

 

Activity #1

Identifying Point of View

• RL6.6 Explain how the author develops the point of view of the narrator in a text

What do you see in this image?

• Point of View: The perspective of the person telling the story
• Answers the Question: Who is telling the story? Who is the narrator? 

First Person - Told from the viewpoint of one of the characters using the pronouns "I" and "we"

Third Person: Limited - The narrator is an outside observer that is limited to knowing the thoughts and feelings of only one Character

  

Third Person: Omniscient - The narrator is an outside observer who can tell the reader the thoughts & feelings of ALL the characters

   

Third Person: Objective - The narrator reports the facts of the story as a neutral and impersonal outside observer

Read each example below. Have a discussion with your group members about what Point of View is being used in each example. Be sure you can explain your thinking.

Example

I was mad at Shay. I blamed her.

Shay just left without saying anything.

She left a note and then left me.
