Happy Thursday! I am so glad to be back at school learning with your children!
As we continued our study of fiction today, we thought about how the point of view of the narrator makes a huge impact on the story. Would the Harry Potter series be the same if told from the perspective of Voldemort? How about Cinderella told through the view of the Prince? Point of view is crucial to a story!
We talked about how the best readers will often imagine how characters outside of the narrator may tell the story differently. Or, if a story is told in third person, what the characters are thinking outside of their dialogue and actions.
After the lesson, the kids thought about their independent reading books and the point of view of the narrators in their texts. They wrote reading responses to show their understanding.
Please ask your children about the lesson from their point of view…pun intended!
PS. I think we can all agree that I am not the best symmetrical artist- but the kids enjoyed my anchor chart regardless!
