Yesterday, students worked on identifying the point of view in a piece of fiction. While there are several different types, we only worked on 1st and 3rd person.
Examples:
"I love school!" Jared shouted. - this is 3rd person because the narrator is referring to Jared by name.
"I love school!" I shouted.- this si 1st person because the narrator is the character speaking.
Today, students have a substitute while I attend a school-wide workshop. Students will be working on previously learned skills of cause/effect, synonyms, fact/fiction, and also practicing with point of view.
