Point of View is an important skill we are learning. There are three points of view:
First Person - the character is IN the story (key words: I, me, us, our ...)
Second Person - the reader is part of the story (key words: you, your ...)
Third Person - there is a narrator, telling the story from outside (key words: names, it, his, her, them, their ... )
When
your child is reading, and you want to be engaged and ask questions,
and you are not sure where to start, ask your child to tell you the
point of view; followed by evidence. What evidence would you share to
support that it is point of view ... This is important because the story
can be told from the Third Person Point of View (with a narrator), but
the story might have dialogue that uses, "I told you ..." and it can
confuse students. It takes many examples to develop the differences for
students.
When possible, you can ask Point of View for movies, tv, and more ... This is an important standard students are developing - and isn't just my point of view!
