First and sixth periods worked on point of view in Nightjohn. Using The True Story of the Three Little Pigs as a model for the differences a change in perspective has on a narrative. We looked at three passages from Nightjohn to explore how changing the point of view would change the narrative.

Second and fourth periods looked at point of view as well, but from a slightly different perspective (pun not initially intended. We looked at how a first person narrative can result in a narrator being unreliable or untrustworthy. Reading Maria Elena Llano’s “In the Family,” we looked at how a narrator can be intentionally or unintentionally misleading.

Seventh period took the MAP test.
