Monday, Oct. 4, Point of View, Vocabulary, Interlopers

Objective: Today, we will earn about how the author's different point of view can affect the interpretation of the literature. We will analyze 1st person, 3rd person and omniscient narrators. We will practice writing in each form and compare and contrast. We will begin the introduction to the work of fiction, THE INTERLOPERS, by Saki and work with vocabulary from the story. Finally, we will continue to work on grammar by peer editing.

Warm - Up

1. Use the back of your textbook, definitions of literary terms, to define the following in your notes:narrator, irony, point of view, first person point of view, third person point of view, and omniscient point of view. (you do not nee to copy whole paragraphs - just the main definitions).

2. Read together pages 1`48 and 149 in text.

3. Some students will write about the following in first person, some in 3rd, and some in omniscient narrator voice. then we will compare and contrast the effects.

.....was walking down the street when...........................(write T LEAST 4-5 SENTENCES).......so then i just kept walking.....

remember 1st perosn, use "I" and you only know what is in your head.

3rd person, the narrator says "he" or "she" but still only knows what is going on in that person's head.

Omniscient - the narrator knows what all characters in the story are thinking ( so you must tell the reader all characters thoughts as you write).

4. Share answers to compare and contrast effects of points of view.

5. Vocabulary words on page 150 of text. First five - sentences in notebooks. Be sure to use context clues.
