Today, we will start by discussing how we felt our first writers' workshop went! Then, together as a group, we will create a short workshop participation rubric that will be used to score your participation in the future workshops!
After that, we are going to begin discussing point of view! With a partner, I want you to work to create an easy to remember definition of each of the following types of point of view:
- objective
- first person
- second person
- third person
- omniscient
- limited
Then, we will read three short stories that each have a different point of view. After each story, we will discuss the following:
- How does the point of view affect your response to the characters?
- How would the story change if it were told from a different point of view?
- How is your response influenced by how much the narrator knows and how objective he or she is?
The stories are linked here:
