Day 2, POV and Characterization

Hello readers,

Thank you again for joining today.  Again, it’s never too late to join in you just have to read the previous day’s blog and sign-on at 10am PDT every weekday.

Today we covered Point of View  

Your task: Identify the POV in the story, who is telling the story and how might that perspective limit or exceed our understanding of the text?

Ex: The point of view in the novel Twilight is _____________________, this perspective (limits/exceeds) our understanding of the story because___________________________. I know this because in the text it says, “_______________________________________________”  Which helped me determine that____________________________________________________.

We also started our character list that looks like this!

Major Characters*

Bella

Charlie

Renee

Minor Characters*

Jessica

Mike

Chess Club Eric

*Character list are dynamic, they change as you read the book.  Minor characters might turn into major characters as we move forward in the story.*

**Metacognitive think aloud’s are only covered during the session-they would not make sense out of context because by nature are organic thought processes. SO JOIN US!

Tomorrow we will begin on page 36!

Happy reading,

Ms. M
