CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to explain how an author develops the point of view of the narrator or speaker in a text

VOCABULARY

There are three ways an author presents their perspective: first person (using 'I', 'me', 'my', 'we'), second person (using 'you), and third person (using 'they', 'he', or 'she'). Depending on the type of text and the type of message the author wants to convey determines which perspective the author uses.
